Updating Your Username
Your username is your unique identity across CreateLixir. It's how other users can find your profile, collaborate with you, and mention you throughout the platform. You can update your username at any time, provided your preferred username is available.
Change Your Username
To update your username, navigate to Settings → Profile and locate the Username field. Enter your preferred username and save your changes.
If the username is available and meets CreateLixir's requirements, it will be updated immediately and reflected across your profile.
Username Requirements
To ensure consistency across the platform, usernames must:
- Be unique.
- Contain only letters, numbers, underscores (_), or periods (.).
- Be between 3 and 30 characters long.
- Not contain spaces or special characters.
- Not impersonate another user or violate the platform's community guidelines.
If your chosen username is unavailable, try a slight variation or add numbers while keeping it recognizable.
Username Availability
As you type, CreateLixir automatically checks whether your chosen username is available. If the username is already in use or doesn't meet the requirements, you'll receive instant feedback before saving.
Things to Keep in Mind
Changing your username updates your public profile across the platform. Existing collaborators will still have access to your projects, but they may need to use your new username when searching for or mentioning you.
Choose a username that you'll be comfortable using long-term.
Best Practices
For the best experience:
- Keep your username short and memorable.
- Use the same username across your social platforms if possible.
- Avoid unnecessary symbols or numbers.
- Choose a professional username if you plan to collaborate publicly.
