Benefits

  • Work your way: Choose your preferred language and theme for a smoother, more comfortable experience managing feedback


Email preferences

These can be set from the Email preferences tab in your personal settings:

View in the Canny Ideas beta:

Here, you will select how often you’d like to receive the Admin Report emails.


Language preferences

These can be set from the Language preferences tab in your personal settings:

View in the Canny Ideas beta:

When this toggle is enabled, it means Canny will automatically translate user-generated content into your preferred language. By default, your browser language is used, but you can manually select a supported language from the dropdown menu.

Note: This can be overridden by the general language translation settings


Theme

These can be set from the Theme preferences tab in your personal settings:

View in the Canny Ideas beta:

By default, Canny will display in Light mode, but you can use the dropdown menu to select either Dark mode or rely on system preferences to toggle between Light and Dark modes:

This setting will only apply to the admin interface. It does not affect the end-user portal, which will always be in Light mode. If you’d like an end-user experience in Dark mode, you can embed Canny as a widget. The widget allows you to select a Dark theme when embedding.
