Accessing Settings
Click your profile icon at the bottom of the sidebar, then select "Account Settings." Settings are organized into six tabs: Account, Privacy, Billing, Usage, Notifications, and Appearance.
Account
Update your profile photo, personal info, and agency details. Changes auto-save when you leave the page.
Profile Photo
Click your photo to upload a new one (JPEG, PNG, or WebP, up to 5 MB). Hover over an uploaded photo and click the X to remove it.
Display Name & Email
Click the edit button next to your name and email. Email changes require verification—check your new inbox for a confirmation link, then log out and back in. If you sign in with Google, your email is managed through your Google account.
Address Preference
Choose how LawCite addresses you: first name, rank only, rank + last name, or surprise me.
State & Federal Circuit
Your default jurisdiction for scenario analyses. Selecting a state auto-sets the matching federal circuit, but you can override the circuit if needed.
Rank/Title, Unit/Division, Agency
Your position and department info. Used for personalization.
Privacy
Manage your sessions, search data, and account access.
Active Sessions
See where you're currently logged in—device, location, and when each session was last active. If you use a VPN, locations may not match your actual location.
Clear Search History
Permanently delete all saved searches and their associated analyses, cases, and follow-ups. This cannot be undone.
Export My Data
Download all your analyses as PDFs in a ZIP file.
Log Out All Devices
Signs you out of every active session. You'll need to log in again on all devices.
Billing
View your current plan, update your payment method, and access invoices.
What You'll See
Managing Your Subscription
Click "Change Plan" to upgrade, downgrade, or cancel. If you've already canceled, the button changes to "Resubscribe." Downgrades take effect at your next billing date—you keep your current tier until then.
Cancellation
If you cancel, you keep access until the end of your current billing period. A banner shows when access expires. Your search history is preserved if you resubscribe later.
Delete Account
At the bottom of the Billing tab, you can permanently delete your account. This cancels your subscription and erases all data. You'll be asked to confirm before anything happens.
This Cannot Be Undone
Account deletion is permanent and irreversible. All search history, profile data, and subscription information will be erased immediately.
Usage
Track how much of your allocation you've used and manage extra usage settings. For more detail on how usage works, see Usage & Credits.
Usage Progress Bar
Shows how much of your current allocation you've used, with your reset date.
Extra Usage (Paid Tiers)
Enable extra usage to keep going after your allocation runs out. You can add balance manually ($1 minimum), set a monthly spend cap, and configure auto-reload to top up automatically when your balance gets low.
Notifications
Control which emails you receive from LawCite.
Each can be toggled individually, or use "Unsubscribe from All" at the bottom to opt out of everything.
Appearance
Choose between Light, Dark, or System theme. Your choice applies immediately and syncs across devices.
Sessions
Sessions last 16 hours, designed for long shifts. Your session refreshes automatically while you're actively using the app, so you won't be interrupted during research. After 16 hours of inactivity, you'll be logged out.
