Notifications
The Notifications section allows you to control how you receive alerts from Bild.
You can enable or disable:
Email notifications
In-app notifications
This allows you to tailor how frequently and through which channels you receive updates.
Important:
Each individual workspace also has its own notification settings. These must be configured separately at the workspace level.
Preferences
The Preferences section includes three user-level configuration options:
1. File and Folder Segregation
When enabled:
Folders will display at the top
Files will display below folders
This helps organize workspace views for easier navigation.
2. Appearance (Theme Mode)
The Appearance setting allows you to select your theme mode for the application.
Available options:
Light Mode
Dark Mode
System Mode
What is System Mode?
System Mode applies to the web application and will follow your system-level theme settings.
If your device or desktop app is set to dark mode, Bild will automatically display in dark mode. If your system is set to light mode, Bild will follow that setting.
This allows for a consistent visual experience across applications.
