The profile image is set by entering a URL — images are not uploaded directly through the app. Upload your image to Shopify Admin under "Content > Files," copy the URL, and paste it into the Profile image field.

Plain text editing is available on all plans. Upgrading to the Light Plan or above unlocks rich text editing, which supports bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, text color, and link insertion.

I want to delete the author.

Author deletion is not currently supported. If you've reached your plan's author limit, edit an existing author you're no longer using instead of creating a new one.

Where should I upload my profile image?

We recommend uploading your profile image to Files in your Shopify Admin.

For instructions on how to upload images and get the URL, please refer to the following blog post:
