Shubham Padia a54d247111 help: Use 1. for numbered lists everywhere.
The conversion script for help-beta assumes that all items in a numbered
list start with 1. which was a wrong assumption. This commit attempts to
fix that. We are not introducing any lint step to tackle this since it
will be easy to just check for this again before the cutover happens.
We do not change this for `numbered-list-examples.md` since that example
shows how the current numbered lists work and we might still want to
show that. We can decide what to do with that file once the time of
cutover arrives.

Change your time zone

Zulip uses the time zone configured on your computer or mobile device for displaying dates and times, such as when a message was sent.

You can configure your local time as it's shown to other users in your user card and profile. When your local time doesn't match your computer's time zone, the Zulip web and desktop apps display a banner offering to update it. If you don't want to see this banner, you can hide it.

Configure your local time

{start_tabs}

{tab|desktop-web}

{settings_tab|profile}

  1. Under Profile, select a time zone.

{end_tabs}

Configure time zone used by Zulip to display dates and times

{start_tabs}

  2. Reload Zulip.

Hide banner when time zones don't match

If you local time in Zulip differs from your device's time zone (for example, you changed your computer's time zone while traveling), you'll see a banner in the web and desktop apps offering to update your local time to match your computer's current time zone.

You can choose to permanently hide this banner.

{start_tabs}

{tab|desktop-web}

{settings_tab|profile}

  1. Under Profile, toggle Offer to update to my computer's time zone.
