Rename a users in Azure DevOps - azure

I have had an associate get married and while I have changed their name in all other systems I can't see a way to change the display name in Azure DevOps. They have a fair number or work assignments so I don't really want to delete and add them back. Is there a way to simply update their display name?

You can do this in profile settings profile settings.
One of the icons in the upper right corner opens the settings page.

Is there a way to add more than one dashboard to Azure Devops per team?

I'd like to add a second dashboard for our team. My idea was having a dashboard to show specific sprint information, and another dashboard so that I can see more general information, consolidating metrics from all sprints. Is there any way to do that? I already checked permissions and all of us should be able to do it. When I try adding another one, I see the Create button greyed out.
By reference to this doc: Add, rename, and delete dashboards in Azure DevOps,
Therefore, please check whether you are the team admin with Basic access level.

Transfer gitlab repo to a different group

In the gitlab documentation, it reads
Transferring an existing project into a group
You can transfer an existing project into a group you own from the project settings page.
First scroll down to the 'Dangerous settings' and click 'Show them to me'.
Now you can pick any of the groups you manage as the new namespace for the group.
But I cannot even manage to find the settings page.

How to change subscription on Azure old portal?

First of all, why microsoft azure changed the portal UI? In my opinion the oldest is much more clear.
But the question is, i have multiple subscriptions associated with my live id email. When i go to manage.windowsazure.com url and log with my live id, i go to a default subscription, but i need to change it staying on the old portal. Where can i find this option?
On the configuration menu i have just these options:
Thanks!
On the top right corner before configuration menu, you will see Subscriptions filter. Clicking on that will show you all the directories your account is associated with. You can change the directory and can filter subscriptions you wish to see. Please see the screenshot below for more details:

How to set Default Directory which is selected after logging in to the new Azure Portal?

For my Azure account there are 3 directories associated. After logging in always one of them is selected, so I have to switch to an other what I prefer after every login in the top right menu.
How can I change this default to my preference?
I mean, after logging I would like to my preferred directory should be the selected without any repeated additional actions.
(If this can be donw with Azure PowerShell I am OK with that, the only requirement is it must affect my interactive logins to the new Azure Portal: My preferred directory should be the selected by default.
Unfortunately this is not possible at the minute.

Swap Slots on Windows Azure but don't copy AppSettings

Hello,
I noticed that when i want to swap slots on Azure the whole configuration will also be copied. I have a lot of environment-specific settings that i wanted to have configured automatically on a swap. So for example, i want that the ENVIRONMENT_TYPE of the test slot stays on TEST and doesn't change to DEV. Like you can see in the Screenshot, these preview messages don't really make sense.
Can anybody help me changing this option? How do you handle this?
Thanks a lot, have a nice day!
In the Azure Preview Portal, you can mark individual AppSettings as "Slot Setting" which means that they won't get swapped. This is described at https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/documentation/articles/web-sites-staged-publishing/.
You can access the Preview Portal at https://ms.portal.azure.com/. Choose Browse everything and select your Web-App. On the blade for your web-app, there is a box called Deployment Slots. If you select this, it will list the available Deployment slots - choose the one that you wish to modify, and you can then mark the individual App Settings as "Slot Setting".
