### Accessing Help & About
You can change your Matrix account settings by clicking your profile icon in the top left of the Element client. By default, this will be a colored circle with the first letter of your Matrix ID. From the presented drop-down menu, you'll be able to jump into specific settings straight away, or access `All Settings`. Clicking `All Settings` will take you first to `General` settings, click `Help & About` in the vertical navigation menu on the left to open the `Help & About` page.

<p class="callout info"><b>Info:</b> The below setting layout / order may change in subsequent client updates, however generally most settings will still perform the same function.</p>
