How identity switching works
- Identity updates are scoped to the target conversation.
- Alias/public-key context can be updated through dedicated chat operations.
- Server-side capability checks can restrict this on lower tiers.

Switch conversation identity
Veil supports identity switching in conversation contexts so users can control how they appear across different communications.
Quick summary
Use conversation-scoped identity switching where supported by your account capabilities.
Usage pattern
- Open the target conversation settings.
- Apply new identity context and confirm save.
- Send a test message to verify expected identity display.
Important note
- Switching identity does not change your core account ownership.
- Use clear internal policy for when alternate identities are appropriate.
