In our current implementation, loose lists and tight lists look the same visually. Loose lists are lists with blank lines between list items, and the contents of a list item should be enclosed in a paragraph tag in that case. For unordered lists, paragraph tags have a bottom margin in starlight and thus looses lists look much more spaced out than tight lists. That is not the behaviour we had in mind while writing the documentation, the reason we had all these loose lists is to make the documentation easy to write and read. So we attempt to remove all the blank lines and fix the problem at source. Since paragraph tags are used for other purposes in a list in starlight, it won't be a wise decision to let the source be as is and just change things in css, other expected behaviours might break in that case. See this topic for more details: https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/channel/19-documentation/topic/new.20help.20center.3A.20regressions/near/2226084 All the changes were made by a one-off script which has not been commited to the repo. The script wasn't perfect and could not decide between blank lines that make a list loose vs blank lines necessary for a sub-list or a code block inside a list item. A manual review of all the changes was done before making this commit to ensure that no unintended changes were made to the help center files.

# Configure default settings for new users
|
|
|
|
{!admin-only.md!}
|
|
|
|
Organization administrators can configure the default values of
|
|
personal preference settings for new users joining the
|
|
organization. This can help seamlessly customize the Zulip experience
|
|
to match how the organization in question is using Zulip.
|
|
|
|
Existing users' preferences cannot be modified by administrators, and
|
|
users will be able to customize their own settings once they
|
|
join. Administrators can customize defaults for all personal
|
|
preference settings, including the following:
|
|
|
|
* Privacy settings:
|
|
* Displaying [availability](/help/status-and-availability) to other users
|
|
* Allowing others to see when the user has [read
|
|
messages](/help/read-receipts)
|
|
* Allowing others to see when the user is [typing a
|
|
message](/help/typing-notifications)
|
|
* Preferences:
|
|
* [Language](/help/change-your-language)
|
|
* [Time format](/help/change-the-time-format)
|
|
* [Light theme vs. dark theme](/help/dark-theme)
|
|
* [Font size](/help/font-size)
|
|
* [Line spacing](/help/line-spacing)
|
|
* [Emoji theme](/help/emoji-and-emoticons#change-your-emoji-set)
|
|
* [Home view](/help/configure-home-view)
|
|
([Inbox](/help/inbox) vs.
|
|
[Recent conversations](/help/recent-conversations) vs.
|
|
[Combined feed](/help/reading-strategies#combined-feed))
|
|
* Notification settings:
|
|
* What types of messages [trigger notifications][default-notifications]
|
|
* Which topics users will [automatically follow](/help/follow-a-topic). This
|
|
minimizes the need to [mention](/help/mention-a-user-or-group) other users
|
|
to get their attention.

## Configure default language for new users
|
|
|
|
Your organization's [language](/help/configure-organization-language) will be
|
|
the default language for new users when Zulip cannot detect their language
|
|
preferences from their browser, including all users [created via the Zulip
|
|
API](/api/create-user).
|
|
|
|
{start_tabs}
|
|
|
|
{settings_tab|organization-settings}
|
|
|
|
1. Under **Automated messages and emails**, change the **Language for
|
|
automated messages and invitation emails**.
