Code of Conduct

What article on docs.github.com is affected?

"Customizing your organization's profile"

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

There are two ways to set an organization profile picture:

  • Upload an image.
  • Enter an email address associated with a Gravatar, in the field labeled "Gravatar email (private)." GitHub will use the Gravatar image associated with that email. This is currently not documented, and the purpose of this field isn't self-explanatory.

Content plan

  1. At the end of the article, add a new h2 heading: ## Changing your organization's profile picture

  2. In this section, add an h3 subsection: ### Uploading an image, containing the following content.

    {% data reusables.profile.access_org %}
    {% data reusables.profile.org_settings %}
    1. Under your profile picture, click **Upload new picture**, then select an image.
    
  3. Add another h3 subsection ### Using a Gravatar image, containing the following content.

    {% data reusables.profile.access_org %}
    {% data reusables.profile.org_settings %}
    1. In the "Gravatar email (Private)" field, enter the email address associated with your Gravatar image.
    1. Click **Update profile**.

Who does this affect?

Organization owners

What is the impact to users?

Organization owners might be confused what this field is or how to use it, especially if they are not familiar with Gravatar. This question recently generated customer confusion with Support.
