# Managing your account (/docs/account/managing-your-account)



Account pages control your sign-in, profile, workspace, and saved form settings.

## Account and security [#account-and-security]

Open [**Account**](https://tradieforms.com.au/app/account) to manage your profile, email, and sign-in options.

You can fill and preview public templates without an account, but downloads, saved details, cloud drafts, PDF tools download, private forms, and team work require sign-in.

## State and trade profile [#state-and-trade-profile]

Onboarding asks for your state and trade. Tradie Forms uses this to recommend forms on Overview, Templates, and New form.

Update it later in [**Settings**](https://tradieforms.com.au/app/settings).

Supported profile trades are Electrical, Plumbing, Draining, Gasfitting, Building, Fire Safety, and Pest Control.

## Settings [#settings]

Open [**Settings**](https://tradieforms.com.au/app/settings) for:

Turning off completed storage stops new completed records from being saved. The app may ask whether to archive or delete existing saved records.

Turning off stored PDF copies or PDF audit trail stops new PDF copies from being stored. Completed form data is unchanged. You can choose whether to keep or delete existing stored PDFs.

Turning off the AI assistant hides it in the app header and **Fill with AI** on forms, and blocks chat requests. Other team members can choose their own setting.

## Archived forms [#archived-forms]

Deleted records move to [**Settings -> Archived forms**](https://tradieforms.com.au/app/settings/archived). You can restore them or permanently delete them.

In a team workspace, deletion permissions depend on your role and whether you created the record.

## Team accounts [#team-accounts]

Use the account menu to switch between personal and business workspaces. Use [**Team**](https://tradieforms.com.au/app/team) for team plan checkout and [**Organisations**](https://tradieforms.com.au/app/organisations) for team members.
