How do I specify my bitbucket account? The help says there is a gear icon, but not in my version?

Question

I am using Sourcetree 2.4.7.0.  I am trying to follow the on-line help that says click on the gear icon.  I do not appear to have a gear icon in this version of Sourcetree.  Sounds like this online help was written for an earlier version of Sourcetree.  Here is what it says:

"To add repositories to Sourcetree, log in with your Bitbucket or Github account. You can add multiple accounts to Sourcetree.

* Click the gear icon and select Accounts."
