Your profile and account settings#

Everything about you — your name, how you appear, and a few choices about how Nabu works for you — lives in Settings.

Open Settings from the Settings button in the top corner of your dashboard. A labeled rail on the left groups everything into departments; this page covers Account and Preferences (both under Personal).

Your Account page#

Open Account in the Settings rail (under the Personal group).

What you can edit#

Click Edit details at the top of the page to make changes, then Done when you're finished.

Display name — the name shown on your projects and to anyone you share with.
Email — shown here but read-only. To change it, use Change email, which walks you through confirming the new address.
Handle, bio, website and links — your short username, a sentence or two about you, your website, and social links like Twitter / X, Instagram, IMDb, and Letterboxd.

Tip: Your edits save themselves as you go — you'll see "Saving…" then "Saved".

After changing your email, request a fresh sign-in link or code. Earlier ones no longer work, even if you later change back to the old address. Google or Apple accounts you've connected and API keys you've already created keep working.

Your picture#

The Picture row sits under your name. Square images look best. Up to 2 MB.

Upload picture — choose a PNG, JPEG or WebP image. Nabu crops it to a centred square.
Replace picture — choose a new one; it replaces the old one everywhere you appear.
Remove — goes back to the picture from the account you sign in with, or to your initial.

A few more things on this page#

Export data — downloads your account data (profile and account records) as a file. To keep a copy of a project's content, use the Nabu Bundle on the project's Export page — see Exporting your work.
Share structure and choice signals — a switch. When it's on, Nabu learns from the shape of your work and your choices (counts, and milestones like exporting a draft) — never your actual writing. The hint reads "Never your screenplay text." and links to Your words are yours for the full plain-language promise.
Install Nabu — adds Nabu to your device like an app, if your browser supports it.
Delete account… — opens a dialog where you tick the acknowledgement and type DELETE, then click to request deletion; Keep my account backs out. Nothing is charged while the deletion is pending. Signing in again cancels it; if a renewal date passed meanwhile, a new billing period starts then. The dialog lets you download your projects as .nabu first. When deletion completes, a workspace only you were in closes with its plan and any unused usage, including extra usage you bought. A workspace you own and share stays with its other members. A plan you pay for there ends, and the workspace is on the free plan when deletion completes; the dialog names it, and the remaining owner and members receive a notice. Deleting the account adds no separate loss of usage in that shared workspace; the usual rules for a cancelled or expired plan still apply.

Before confirming deletion, you can download each workspace you own or transfer it to a member. Confirm a paid transfer: its plan runs to the date shown. A granted plan stays. Suspended accounts can download but cannot transfer.

Once your account is being erased, you cannot create or duplicate a project. Signing in during the seven-day grace period still cancels the deletion.

Note: If you don't agree to updated Terms, or your account is suspended, you can still export your data, download each project as .nabu, Fountain or PDF, cancel your subscription, delete your account and sign out from the page you land on.

If a workspace's owner is suspended, the workspace pauses for everyone. Members whose own accounts are active see “This workspace is suspended. You can still download your work.” A personally suspended owner sees “This account is suspended. Contact support.” Choose your project and download it as .nabu, Fountain or PDF. Writing and Nisaba work are unavailable there. Your other active workspaces are unaffected.

Preferences#

Open Preferences in the Settings rail (also under the Personal group).

Writing with Nisaba#

Under Choose models you'll see a one-line summary that reads either Nabu recommended or Your choice. To change it, click Change beside Writing or Conversation, pick a model, then Save model.

Writing — the model that drafts and rewrites your scenes.
Conversation — the model that powers your conversations with Nisaba, your AI writing partner.

Choosing your own model needs a plan that includes it.

Nisaba#

Notes at story milestones is a switch. When it's on, Nisaba leaves a note in your conversation when an act comes together. When it's off, the milestone still appears, without her note.

Background work#

The Background work section holds a switch called Background AI. Its hint reads "Nabu's own work between your requests, like rereading pages and keeping notes current. Chat and anything you start are not affected." Your workspace's name follows it.

When Background AI is on, Nabu does that work on its own: rereading pages, keeping notes, characters and continuity current.
When it's off, that work stops. Chat and anything you start still run, and a decision you state in chat is still filed in your story.

Each project has the same switch under its own settings, labelled Background AI on this project, with the same line.

Note: Only the workspace owner can change this switch. If you're collaborating in someone else's workspace, you'll see "Only the workspace owner can change background AI."

Time & region#

The Timezone setting lets you choose the timezone Nabu uses for dates and times.
