# Organize Accounts in Profiles

In PolkaGate, you can organize your accounts into different profiles. Advanced users often have a considerable number of accounts, and organizing them into profiles such as staked accounts, validators, test accounts, proxies, watch-only, and Ledger accounts can help manage them more efficiently.

By default, the extension will show system-defined profiles: All, Local, Watch Only, and Ledger. However, users can also add their accounts to user-defined profiles.

Profiles can be easily switched from the top of the **Accounts List** on home page in full-screen mode, or from the **Accounts List** page in extension mode, as shown below.
