Using Personas

Once you've created personas, you can switch between them whenever you create or interact with content.

How to switch personas

1. When creating a receipt, look for the persona selector near the receipt form.
2. Click on your current persona to see a dropdown of all your available personas.
3. Select the persona you want to post as.
4. Your receipt will be attributed to that persona.

When to use different personas

• Research & Education — Use an academic persona when posting fact-checks, citations, or educational annotations.
• Casual Commentary — Use a fun, informal persona for entertainment-focused receipts.
• Professional — Use a professional persona when annotating work-related content.
• Anonymous-ish — Create a persona that doesn't reveal your identity when you want to contribute without being recognized.

Important notes

• Switching personas only affects new content — existing receipts keep the persona they were created with.
• Your persona choice is per-receipt, not per-session — you can switch freely.
• All personas are tied to your account, so feed permissions apply regardless of which persona you use.
• Persona selection is available wherever you create receipts — the same persona options appear in all feeds.
