Can we change our Username on this platform. If yes then how? If not, should we think about it?

Hi Shah, this is possible, I think. You click on your profile picture (in Left-To-Right languages it is in the upper right corner) and select the tab with the “person” icon and go to “Preferences”

You can then change your username in the settings.

This is actually false. Might be there are permissions and stuff, but it’s not possible to change username in the settings.
