Change Organization name and subdomain #

If you navigate to the General tab, you’ll jump to the Organization settings screen. Here, you can see and edit your Organization name and Organization subdomain.

Organization name is the name of your company’s virtual space that incorporates the administration, management and purpose of multiple Spaces created in it. Admins can change Organization name.

To change Organization name and subdomain:

1. Open General tab in Admin
2. Edit the existing Organization name/Organization subdomain
3. Click Save to complete the action

After the name is changed, all members of the Organization will receive an email informing them of the change and Organization’s new name. When a user changes the subdomain, they will be automatically logged out of Plaky.

Organization subdomain is part of a web address Organization members use in order to log in to Plaky. It can be changed on Enterprise plan only, once a month.

Once the Organization subdomain is changed, URLs containing the previous subdomain will remain active for a limited one-month period. Within this timeframe, it is essential for all Organization members to promptly revise and update their bookmarks and any URLs stored in external documents, as the former URLs will cease to be operational after this period.

If the Organization has Single Sign-On (SSO) configured, please refer to this article for instructions on the necessary steps to follow after the subdomain change.
