# 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.

Select the **accounts** you want to include in the profile, and click **Add Accounts**.

**Note:** The profile creation process is the same in **full-screen mode**.
