Everything you publish on the marketplace appears under your **creator profile**: a public page at `banksync.io/creators/<your-name>`. Each workspace has at most one creator profile.

> **Who can do this:** 'Workspace admins and owners can create and save the profile. Editors can read it. If your workspace already publishes an app, its publisher is your creator profile, with its name and agreement kept.'

## Becoming a creator

**Set up your profile**

1. **Open Settings › Creator** — With no profile yet, the page offers Become a creator.
2. **Choose your name and address** — The address (slug) is checked as you type. Some words are reserved — marketplace, templates,
   creators, directory, admin, api, anything starting banksync — and are refused.
3. **Describe yourself** — A summary of up to 160 characters (shown on cards), a longer description in Markdown, tags, your
   website and an optional public email address.
4. **Add an avatar and cover** — JPEG, PNG or WebP up to 5 MB. The cover is cropped to 3:1 (at least 900×300; 1500×500 looks
   best) and the avatar to a square (at least 256×256). They show publicly once you have a verified
   listing. Remove deletes an image after you confirm; upload another any time.
5. **Accept the creator agreement** — You must accept the creator agreement before you
   submit your first listing for review.

## Your address locks after verification

You can change your address freely until your first listing is verified. After that it locks, so links people have shared keep working. You can then rename it **once every 90 days**: the old address redirects to the new one permanently and nobody else can ever take it.

## What is public

Your name, address, summary, description, tags, website, public email, avatar and cover are public once you have a verified listing. Nothing else about your workspace is shown. If BankSync suspends a creator, its profile page stops answering and its listings are hidden; installs people already made keep their resources.
