📂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.

To add an account to a profile or create a new profile, open Accounts List (the page shown above) in extension mode from the top menu next to the PolkaGate logo, then click the ⚙️ Settings button:

On this page, you can easily delete profiles, search for existing ones, and drag and drop accounts to add them to a profile. To create a new profile, click the ➕ Add Profile button.
