Preferences
Preferences control how Judicio looks, what language and timezone it uses for the interface, which notifications you receive, and the default format when you export results. Each change is staged and saved together with the Save preferences button at the bottom.
Open preferencesOpening the page
Navigate to Preferences
Select your profile avatar in the bottom-left of the sidebar, choose Settings, then select Preferences in the Settings rail.
Appearance
Choose your theme
The Appearance card opens with a row of three theme buttons:
- Dark mode
- Light mode
- System
The selected button is highlighted. System (the default) follows your operating system's light/dark setting and switches automatically when your OS does. The theme applies the instant you select it — and persists locally so there's no flash on reload.
Set your display language
Under Language, open the dropdown and pick the interface language. The list covers 30+ options shown in their native script with the English name alongside (for example हिन्दी (Hindi), Français (French), 中文 (Mandarin Chinese)).
Set your timezone
Under Timezone, pick your zone from the dropdown (for example Singapore (UTC+8), London (UTC+0), New York (UTC-5), Mumbai (UTC+5:30)). This is used when Judicio displays dates and times for your account.
The Language dropdown here sets the interface language. The language an AI feature writes its answers and drafts in is a separate, per-feature setting — the Language config chip described below.
Notifications
Toggle the notifications you want
The Notifications card is a list of on/off toggles, organised into groups:
| Group | Toggle | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| General | Email notifications | The master switch for receiving notifications by email |
| Feature Alerts | Research complete | When a research task finishes |
| File processing alerts | When files are processed or need your attention | |
| Billing & Credits | Credit alerts | When your available credits run low |
| Billing reminders | Reminders before upcoming billing dates | |
| Payment alerts | Payment status and receipts | |
| Collaboration | Organization events | Team-member and organisation changes |
| Sharing alerts | When files or folders are shared with you | |
| Other | Security alerts | Security events and session changes |
| Product updates | New features and improvements |
Flip any toggle, then save. In-app notifications continue to appear on the bell icon regardless of these email toggles.
Transactional emails (payment receipts, sign-in security alerts) always send when they matter. The toggles above govern the optional, informational notifications.
Export preferences
Set your default export format
The Export preferences card sets the defaults used by the Export flow across features.
- Under Default export format, select PDF, DOCX, or CSV. The chosen button is highlighted.
- Toggle Include Metadata on to embed run details (file names, dates, settings) in exports.
- Toggle Include Citations on so exported results keep their source citations.
These are defaults only — you can still override the format and toggles on the export screen for any individual analysis.
Saving your changes
Save (or discard) your preferences
At the bottom of the page:
- Save preferences — writes your appearance, notification, and export choices. It stays disabled until something changes and shows Saving… while it works. (The theme itself applies live, even before you save.)
- Discard changes — reverts every staged edit to your last saved state.
Where the AI config chips live
The defaults that drive the Jurisdiction, Tone, Response length, and Language chips you see when composing a query in Legal Research and Drafting are not on this Preferences page. They are saved automatically the moment you pick a value in the chip itself — there's no separate Save step.
| Config chip | Default | Where it's set |
|---|---|---|
| Jurisdiction | Your primary jurisdiction | Profile → Jurisdictions; override per session from the chip |
| Tone | Formal | The Tone chip on the composer (Formal, Concise, Conversational, Academic, Advisory) |
| Response length | Balanced | The Response length chip (Concise, Balanced, Detailed) |
| Language | English | The Language chip — the language answers and drafts are written in |
| Auto-detect jurisdictions | On | The toggle inside the Jurisdiction chip — detects jurisdictions from each query before merging with your profile |
Each pick is remembered across sessions and applies wherever that feature runs. Because picking a value saves it instantly, your last choice becomes your new default the next time you open the composer.
Tone, Response length, and Language are saved against your account directly from the chip. The Jurisdiction chip starts from your Profile primary jurisdiction and lets you pin a different jurisdiction for that session only without touching your profile.
