Connecting with others

An important part of effective goal-setting is to hold yourself accountable to your goals.

When you first sign up for a Brightyear.io account your name will become searchable to other users using the Brightyear.io App. When a user clicks your name on the search page they will then be navigated to your personal URL where they will have the option to send you a connection request. If someone sends you a connection request a notification will appear on your "Notifications Page" where you will then have the option to accept or ignore the connection request. If you don't want to appear in the Brightyear.io search feel free to visit the Settings Page within the App. Note that your personal URL will still be accessible to the public in case you want to share your personal link with others in order to connect with them in the App.
