Switching Between Identities

Switching Between Identities



Switching Between Identities 


Once you have more than one identity, it’s important to make sure you’re posting using the correct one—it wouldn’t make any sense for a tectonic plate to be talking about his life as a cell! 


The Identity Menu lets you select which identity is writing a post or making a comment. To switch between identities, hover over the Identity Menu icon and click the identity you would like to use for posting on MySciLife. You can confirm which identity is currently selected by looking at the Identity Menu icon—it will display the active identity’s avatar.
