With the implementation of the new , we are currently in the process of updating our documentation and some pages may be out of date. Thank you for your patience. Please our support team if you need any assistance.

Edit Settings

To access all settings for your Collective, click the settings button shown in the image below.

Info

The info section of the Collective settings enables you to add and change basic information about your page.

Display name - Display names are public and used wherever this profile appears publicly, like contributions, comments on updates, public info on expenses, etc.

Legal Name (optional) - Legal names are private and used in receipts, tax forms, payment details on expenses and other non-profit contexts. Legal names are only visible to admins.

Short description - This description appears at the top of your collective page. Example 'Test Test Test Collective'

Handle - the unique identifier that directs to your collectives page on Open Collective 'www.opencollective.com/yourcollectiveslug'

Location -

Currency - Your preferred currency

Profile Page

Show and hide different sections on your collective page.

As an admin, all sections will appear in your view, with invitations to add content.

However, any sections without content will not appear to other users (for example, Updates and About).

Change Logo

To update your logo image, hover over it and click on Edit logo, or simply drag an image file onto the logo area.

All logos are displayed on a white background, so white logos will not be visible. If you want to use a white logo, upload an image with a colored background instead of a transparent one.

Set Main Color

Your main color determines the color of links and buttons, tier cards, and the hero header if no image is set.

Click on Edit main color in the header area to set the color.

Set Cover Image

To change your cover image, click on Edit cover. By clicking on the image, you are able to move it around. You can also zoom in and out as you like. The optimal image size for a cover image is 2736x650.
