Profiles

Verified against Kanvaz v9.7.0.

Profiles let multiple people share one Kanvaz install while keeping their own settings, recent-files list, and recovery snapshots separate — with no login and no password. A profile is a preferences partition, not a security boundary: anyone with access to the computer can open or switch any profile. There’s nothing locked, and nothing syncs anywhere.

Open Manage Profiles from your account avatar (top right).

What’s per-profile

• Settings (everything in Settings)
• The recent-boards list
• Recovery snapshots

What isn’t per-profile

Board files themselves — a .kanvaz file is just a file on disk; any profile can open any board. Profiles only scope preferences, not board access.

Managing profiles

Action	What it does
Edit	Rename the current profile, set its avatar
Export	Save a profile as a portable .kanvazprofile file

Switching profiles takes effect immediately — no restart needed.

First run

A fresh install auto-creates one profile named from your OS username. Rename it any time via Edit.
