Common questions
Can every teammate set their own timezone?
Yes. Anyone on the team sets their own on Settings, Profile, under their name and email. It is personal: it changes the times you read and nothing that anyone else sees.
Do I have to set my timezone by hand?
No. Leave it and it is set automatically at your next sign-in. If you prefer to choose, the box on the Profile tab searches timezones by city or region.
Which times in the app follow my timezone?
Comment and message times, everywhere in the app, and only for you. The daily digest send time is separate: it has its own timezone, set for the workspace on the Settings tab.

2. It can be set automatically at your next sign-in.
3. The digest send time has its own timezone, set for the workspace.

You should see: Your timezone, with a note that times are shown in it for you alone.
Step 2 of 2: Search and pick.
Where: The box searches timezones by city or region. Or leave it to be set automatically at your next sign-in.

You should see: Comment times switch to that clock everywhere in the app.
If something is off
Problem: Times look an hour out
Fix: Daylight saving. Pick the region rather than a fixed offset and it follows the change.
Problem: My teammate sees different times
Fix: That is correct: each person reads their own clock.
Problem: The digest arrives at the wrong hour
Fix: That is the workspace digest timezone on the Settings tab, not your personal one.
