# Managing profiles for Redline settings

> Profiles are an easier way for you to switch between preset Redline comparison settings without having to manually setup the Redline settings menu for each different type of document. <br /> <br /> You can create multiple profiles for each document use case, and even export them and send profile files to your teammates so that they can import them into their local version of Draftable legal. <br /> <br /> This article aims to provide end users a guide on how to create, import, export, rename and delete a profile from within the Redline settings section.

<Info>
  **The settings menu was reorganised in Draftable Legal 26.6.** If you are on 26.6 or later, follow the "26.6 and later" tabs below. On earlier versions, follow "Before 26.6". To check your version, open Settings. The version number shows at the bottom-left (for example, v26.6.0).
</Info>

<Warning>
  **New to Redline profiles and settings?** If you don't yet understand Redline profiles or Redline settings in Draftable Legal, we highly recommend reading the [Redline Comparison Settings](/hc/en-us/articles/16549612535705-Redline-comparison-settings) article first. Alternatively, perform pilot testing with Draftable to understand what the settings do before rolling this out. Once you and your team have decided what profiles you want to deliver to your users, come back to this article to proceed with deployment.
</Warning>

For administrators looking to configure profiles for end users, please see [Configuring Redline profiles within Group Policy](/hc/en-us/articles/22665341687705-Configuring-Redline-profiles-within-Group-Policy)

## Configuring Redline settings Profiles

Below are all the different methods for creating, importing, exporting, renaming and deleting profiles from within the Redline settings section.

### Creating a profile

Within the Redline Comparison section, make all the changes you require to all the different settings for your Redline comparisons. Once you have completed doing so, go to the top of the **Redline** section, select **Add profile.**\*\*
