Settings and menu

Settings sections, the appearance preview, your own menu order and the country in your profile.

Open Settings from the menu under your photo (on a computer) or from the Menu section (on a phone). Everything is grouped by topic — the list of sections on the left, their content on the right.

Sections

Changes are saved right away — there is no Save button here.

Your own menu order

You can tailor the left menu:

  1. On the site, move the cursor just left of any menu item and click the gear. In the Windows app, use the Customize menu button below the list of sections.
  2. In the Menu items window, untick the sections you don't need.
  3. To change the order, drag an item by the dots on the left or use the Move up / Move down arrows.
  4. Click Save.

You can hide any item except News. The order also applies on your phone, in the Menu section. To go back to the default, click Reset order.

In the Windows app the first item is My Page with your photo — your profile is one click away. Don't need it? Hide it or move it lower.

Country in your profile

In Edit profile → Contacts you now pick the country from a list. If you set, say, Japan and the city Tokyo, clicking the city on your profile opens the Tokyo page labelled «Japan», not «Ukraine».
