Upload a photo or pick a drawn avatar once, and it becomes how you are shown everywhere in the workspace.
Ownership is the question you ask a list fastest: whose client is this, whose project, who is chasing this candidate. A name in a column answers it slowly. A face answers it before you have finished reading the row.A picture per person also makes a team list look like a team. It is a small thing, and it is the difference between a workspace that feels staffed and one that feels like a spreadsheet.
Upload takes an image file from your computer. If you would rather not use a photo, pick one of the drawn avatars underneath — Show more brings up a fresh set until one fits. Either choice becomes your picture immediately, everywhere.Remove takes your picture away again. You are then shown as your initials on a quiet colour, which stays the same colour for you everywhere.
If you signed in with a work account that already carries a profile picture, Yena uses that picture from the start. It is only ever a starting point: the moment you upload one or pick an avatar, your choice stands and is never overwritten.

Ask everyone to do this in their first week. The value is in the whole team having one — a list where three people out of five are initials is no faster to read than a list of names.
