Each user has a profile that contains several settings, such as [Communication preferences](/fundamentals/account/customize-account/#communication-preference/) and [Language preferences](/fundamentals/account/customize-account/#language-preference/).

### Navigation

To access your profile, select the user icon and then **My Profile** from any page within the [Cloudflare dashboard](https://dash.cloudflare.com).

## Accounts

An account refers to an organization account. Accounts contain one or more users and can contain one or more zones. A user can be part of one or more accounts.
An account refers to an organization account, which contains one or more users and zones. Users can belong to multiple accounts, and each account maintains its own settings, including [billing profiles](/billing/create-billing-profile/), [account members](/fundamentals/manage-members/), [lists](/waf/tools/lists/), and other configurations.

Several account-level products - such as [Workers](/workers/), [Pages](/pages/), [Security Center](/security-center/), and [Bulk redirects](/rules/url-forwarding/bulk-redirects/) - can affect some or all zones contained within that account.

After you [log in](https://dash.cloudflare.com) and select an account - but before you select a zone - the sidebar will list account-level products.

Accounts also have their own settings, including [account billing profiles](/billing/create-billing-profile/), [account members](/fundamentals/manage-members/), [lists](/waf/tools/lists/), and more.

### Navigation

When you log into the [Cloudflare dashboard](https://dash.cloudflare.com), you can access all accounts where your user is a member.

To access account settings and account-level products from within a zone, use the **Account Home** option from the **Profile** dropdown.

You can also use the back button near the zone name.

The navigation instruction mentions using the "Accounts option from the navigation sidebar", but this doesn't match what was previously described (which was "Account Home" from the Profile dropdown). Please verify if this is the correct current navigation path in the Cloudflare dashboard.

## Zones

Domains (or [subdomains](/dns/zone-setups/subdomain-setup/)) that are added to Cloudflare become zones[^1], which have a direct impact on the security and performance of your website, application, or API. Use your zone to monitor security and performance, update configurations, and apply zone-level products and services.

Zone-level services - such as [Load Balancers](/load-balancing/) and [Cache rules](/cache/how-to/cache-rules/) - only affect your website, application, or API for that zone and not other zones, even if they are contained within the same account.

### Navigation

When you log into the [Cloudflare dashboard](https://dash.cloudflare.com) and choose an account, there will be a list of all zones within that account.

Once you are within a zone, items within the sidebar will be zone-related products.

If you need to change to another zone, use the forward arrow next to the zone name or by go back to the homepage of your account.

There's a grammatical error in this sentence. Consider changing "or by go back to the homepage" to "or go back to the homepage".

"within" is repeated twice too closely. Tiny nit but might make it sound better!
