	These links do not work for the general help center docs as there is no Zulip organization for the relative link to go to. Instead we link to other help center documentation that's relevant to the context of these articles.

Import your settings
When you create a Zulip account using an email address already associated with an account in another Zulip organization, on Zulip Cloud or the same self-hosted Zulip installation, you can import your user settings from an existing account. It's a convenient way to preserve the user settings that you've already customized.
!!! tip ""
Settings that may not apply to all organizations, such as custom profile
fields, will not be imported.
The import will include your:
- Name and profile picture.
- Preferences, such as the theme, font size, emoji set, and language you have configured.
- Privacy settings, which include whether you let others see when you are typing or if you have read a message.
- Notification settings, which include default notifications for channels, notifications for topics you follow, and the sound used for audible desktop notifications.
