Your Profile

Complete your profile with the Profile Wizard

Last reviewed October 7, 2026

Create or update a profile one section at a time, with private saves and a final review.

Steps

  1. Open Create Profile. On desktop above 900px, use the section checklist beside the active screen; at 900px or below, expand the section menu above it.
  2. Fill the configured sections. The standard groups include Profile basics, Faith & church, Location & background, Interests & ministries, Match preferences, Your story and Contact & privacy. Custom forms can show different headings.
  3. Choose Save section to save only this screen or Save & continue to save it and advance. Wait for confirmation. Skip for now advances without overwriting saved values or increasing progress.
  4. Move between sections to check your entries. Unsaved entries stay in the current page, but only saved entries survive a reload. Leaving with unsaved changes prompts the browser warning.
  5. Return to the same form and profile to resume saved values and the last saved navigation position. If a session expires, sign in again; if a newer draft exists in another tab, reload and review it before saving.
  6. Use Profile photo near the end to save an image up to 5 MB privately. Open Review profile, check the complete form and submit when ready.

Good to know

  • Progress counts populated saved fields, including existing profile values and prefilled defaults. Empty optional fields remain incomplete; Review profile is excluded from the denominator. Skipping is not completion.
  • Drafts allow incomplete entries. Final submission still enforces required fields, CAPTCHA when enabled, permissions and moderation/publication rules. Section saves do not change a published profile.
  • Without JavaScript, the full form and existing submission buttons remain available, but multi-screen navigation and section-only saves are unavailable.
