# Onboarding a new account

The first step when adding a new account to Adalysis is to [link it](/onboarding/getting-started/account-organization/linking-accounts.md). If you already have preferred Adalysis settings, it's likely you'll then want to customize it.

### Automatically apply your preferred settings

The easiest way to customize new accounts is the [global settings](/tools/audit/global-settings.md). All the settings you save here will appear automatically in the newly linked account without any further steps. These settings include:

* Performance monitors
* Customized prebuilt alerts (and associated automatic actions)
* Disabled prebuilt alerts

### Manually copy your preferred settings

You can also apply your existing settings to the new account as follows:

**Performance monitors**: To copy an existing monitor to a new account, navigate to the existing account, open its performance monitors and use the option below.

**Prebuilt audit settings**: To copy a customized prebuilt alert to a new account, navigate to that account setting in the existing account. Click **Save changes** and you'll have the option to save the setting to your new account:
