Updates to Trove account profiles on 12 August 2024

Keep updated on changes to Trove

From Monday 12 August 2024, we’re making changes to the personal information you can share on your Trove account profiles. This includes removing the ability to link to sites outside of Trove in your account profile. This change will ensure that Trove remains secure for everyone.

The following information will be removed from Trove profiles: 

  • Profile pictures 

  • Biographies 

  • ORCID identifiers 

  • Website links 

  • Twitter and Facebook handles. 

Your personal Activity Feed and Notifications will remain unchanged in account profiles. You will find these under a new ‘Activity’ tab on your profile.

These fields will be removed from Trove profiles on 12 August 2024.

Text corrections, lists, tags, and notes information on profiles will be unaffected by these changes. Voluntroves will still be able to view their text correcting history, as well as the lists, tags and notes they’ve created. 

What you need to do 

If you would like to save a copy of the biography on your Trove profile, please do so by Sunday 11 August 2024. 

Please contact Trove Support if you have any questions or require help.
