# Account and preferences

Select your name or avatar at the bottom of the sidebar to open account **Settings**. Use it to review your account, choose notifications, manage experimental features, and check your research environment. Project **Settings** applies only to the open project.

## Sign in or out

Open the sign-in page and choose **Sign in with Google** or **Sign in with GitHub**. Marvin shows only the providers configured for that environment.

If sign-in fails, read the displayed reason before retrying.

Open **Settings > Profile** to view your name, email address, role, and current plan. These fields identify the signed-in account; this screen does not edit them.

Select **Sign out** from **Profile** when you are finished on a shared computer.

## Choose notifications

Open **Settings > Notifications**. You can choose the available channels for each category:

| Category | Available channels |
| --- | --- |
| **Needs your input** | Email and in-app |
| **Run failed or interrupted** | Email and in-app |
| **Results ready** | Email and in-app |
| **Funding** | Email |
| **Announcements** | In-app |

Use the bell menu to read in-app notifications or mark them all as read. Selecting a notification opens its project or the settings page needed for the next action.

## Check your research environment

Open **Settings > System** to check **Research environment**. If the status is unavailable or out of date, see [Troubleshooting and support](/docs/troubleshooting) before starting another run.

## Enable an experimental feature

Open **Settings > Experimental features**. Experimental controls appear only when they are available to your signed-in account.

Enabling an experiment does not connect an external service or confirm that service is ready. Complete any separate setup under **Settings > Integrations** and check the connection status before use.
