to share a photo of yourself. These are all features of the platform.
The Commons and its sub-communities are hosted on the edu1world

span the platform. Note the links in the upper left.
These functions are all supported within "MyWorkplace". There is a link to "MyWorkplace" in the upper left of all pages.

Change email
Topic: Commons Help
The "Change email" feature will allow you to change your user login email address.
For example, you may have been a member of the edu1world platform and
your institutional email address may have changed as a result of a
change in institutional email domain, or you may have changed your
affiliation. In either case, you would like to maintain your existing
account with all prior associations to the articles you have contributed
and your memberships and connections, assuming you are still granted
those memberships.
