## FAQ

Can I change Person to Company?+

No. Type is set on Create. Make a new identity if you picked the wrong type, then move drafts to it.

I do not see the pencil.+

Renaming needs the same permissions as Identities: update the workspace and create content. Ask an admin.

Where does the new name appear?+

On the Identities table, this overview, content identity pickers, calendar filters, and channel invites. Connected accounts do not change.
