Click on your profile

At the top of the My Profile page, you'll see Personal Info and then Avatar below it.

If you have no avatar set, there will be a grey circle next to Avatar. If you have an existing avatar, you will see it beside Avatar. Screenshot 2023-08-02 at 16-41-05 My Profile - Reconciliation Education

Set avatar

Your avatar photo is public and can be seen by other users. Remember this when choosing and uploading photos. Use of inappropriate images will result in permanent suspension without a refund, as this breaches our terms of service. 

Once your avatar is saved, you'll see your photo appear and a popup telling you your photo was saved.
