# Signing Out

Signing out is important for information security and to prevent your user profile from appearing on duty to other users.

There are two options for signing out, these do the same thing, they sign you out and go off duty. If you wish to just go off duty, then [change your duty status](https://docs.cw.crisisworks.com/concepts-and-fundamentals/on-a-computer/your-user-profile-and-duties/..#setting-your-duties-for-events) instead.

To sign out:

* Open the User Profile menu
* Select 'Go Off Duty' or 'Sign Out'
* In the confirmation page, use the 'Go Off Duty and Sign Out' button <img src="https://3923904090-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FNy7IznbrPLUq6GJDDQDk%2Fuploads%2FsSG2y5uTtsHBRfXqd9y0%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=17b6f640-be2e-4219-8e82-53ba552adc63" alt="" data-size="line">
