The **General** settings section allows workspace admins to configure the foundational elements of the workspace. These settings help customize the workspace to fit the identity and needs of the organization.

### General Settings

1. **Workspace Name**
   * The name of the workspace helps identify it among other workspaces you may have access to. This is usually the name of the organization or the project the workspace represents.
   * To change the workspace name, simply enter the new name in the designated field and click **Save**.
2. **Workspace Icon**
   * Customize your workspace by uploading a unique icon or logo. This helps team members quickly identify the workspace, especially if they are part of multiple workspaces.
   * Click on **Upload Image** and select the desired icon from your device.
3. **Workspace URL Slug**
   * The workspace URL slug is a unique identifier for your workspace. It forms part of the URL that team members will use to access the workspace.
   * For example, if your workspace is called “ABC NonProfit,” the URL might look like `team.chat.ngo/abc-nonprofit`. You can edit this slug in the General Settings and click **Save** to confirm changes.

### Additional Settings

1. **Public Chats**
   * Enable or disable public chats in the workspace. Public chats allow users to share chats with people outside of the workspace.&#x20;
2. **Personal Chats**&#x20;
   * Manage the ability for team members to create  private chats that are only visible to them.
