Model choices depend on your plan. See [models and Deep Search](/guides/models-and-deep-search). For a journal-specific format or a custom CSL file, see [citation styles](/guides/citation-styles).

## Control response length [#control-response-length]

Ask for the length in your message, such as "Give me a short answer" or "Explain this in detail." There is no separate response-length control in Preferences.

## Account and workspace settings [#account-and-workspace-settings]

Use [Account and Devices](/guides/account-security) for your display name, two-step verification, and signed-in sessions. Use [Workspace and Members](/guides/workspaces) for the shared workspace. Subscription controls are in [Billing](/guides/plans-and-billing), and AI consumption is in [Usage](/guides/usage-and-credits).
