Settings
A tour of every tab in the Settings modal and what each one does.
Settings holds your profile, billing, signed-in devices, backups and display preferences. Open it with the User settings button (person icon) at the bottom-right of the board. Tabs are listed on the left on larger screens, or across the top on phones.
Open a tab
Click a tab in the sidebar on the left, for example Generation History or Account. Some tabs sit lower in the list; scroll the sidebar if you don't see the one you want.
You can also open a tab directly from a link, such as Generation History, Account or Health. Sign in first if asked. If your account can't use the requested tab, General opens instead.
On a phone, swipe the tab strip across the top to reach more tabs. The active tab scrolls into view when you open Settings.
NoteMissing a tab?
Some tabs depend on your account. Chatbot Usage only appears with Assistant access, and Developer needs you to be signed in on the web.
Account tabs
| Tab | What it does |
|---|---|
| Profile | Edit your full name and nickname. Your email can't be changed here. |
| Account | Sign out, see your plan, renewal date and balance, change or manage your plan, and top up. |
| Referrals | Copy your referral link and track referrals and earned credits. See Referrals. |
| Storage | How much of your plan's remote board storage you've used, your published boards, and pending exports. |
| Sessions | Browsers and devices signed in to your account. Sign out one, or all others. |
| Developer | Connect via MCP (the MCP server URL for any client that supports OAuth), API keys for scripts and CLI tools, and Connected apps you've approved. See Public API and MCP server. |
| Stats | Generations, total and average cost over 7 days or 30 days, with charts and a per-model table. |
| Chatbot Usage | Each Assistant reply with its engine, date, tokens and cost, and the Collect Assistant sessions toggle. See Privacy and your data. |
| Generation History | Every successful, failed and active generation, with recovery and downloads. See History and errors. |
| Health | How much space boards use in this browser, broken media, and cleanup. See Storage. |
Preferences tabs
These sit below a Settings divider and apply only in this browser.
| Tab | What it does |
|---|---|
| General | Theme, see Theme below. Board display: Board Background (None, Grid or Dots) and its opacity, Background Color, Snap to Grid, Media Placeholders (light tiles instead of media when zoomed far out, to keep big boards fast), Default Media Width (the width in pixels, 32 to 4096, of new media added to the board), Show AI Panel, Pinned File Info panel and Show Feature Update Pop-ups. Privacy is covered in Privacy and your data. |
| FFmpeg & Media | A quick test of the in-browser video tools, plus FFmpeg Diagnostics to send to support. See Media tools. |
| AI Generation | Show model name, Show prompt and Show connection lines on generated media. |
To pick a model, use Models in the bottom toolbar, not this tab. See Models and workflows.
Show AI Panel
Show AI Panel is on by default. Turning it off hides the prompt box, the input list and Models in the bottom toolbar, so you can't generate. To get them back, click User settings (still in the bottom toolbar), open General and turn Show AI Panel on again.
Theme
FlashBoards is dark by default. To change it, open the FlashBoards menu (logo) and choose View → Theme, or open User settings, go to General, and under Appearance pick a Theme. It changes right away.
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
| Dark | The default dark board and panels. |
| Light | A light board, light panels and light windows. |
| System | Follows your device's light or dark appearance, and switches when your device does. |
The theme is saved in this browser, not in your account. Another browser or computer keeps its own choice.
What changes:
- The board and its windows. The canvas, toolbars, prompt box, Settings and other windows. Shared boards you open follow your theme too. The rest of the site stays dark.
- White marks become dark. White arrows, pen strokes and shape outlines are drawn in dark ink on the Light board, so they stay visible. Colored marks keep their color. Nothing on the board is changed; switch back and they're white again.
Your images and videos look the same in both themes. Full-screen media previews, the keyboard shortcuts overlay, the minimap and controls drawn over media stay dark.
