What a profile contains
A profile is its own browser directory, a stored device identity generated as a coherent set, and its own proxy assignment. Nothing is shared between profiles. Sites see the same device every time the profile opens.
Create one or many
New profile at the top of the sidebar opens the Create profile form: one scrolling page with General, Proxy, Platform, Fingerprint and Advanced sections, and an Overview of the device the profile will present. The button beside New profile offers Batch create, the same form for up to a hundred profiles at once, and Import profiles, for profiles described in a file.
Create many profiles at once, step by step
Numbering and search
Every profile has a number and a name, and the search bar matches either. Type a number to jump to the profile a script drives, or a name to find the one a person set up.
Groups and folders
Group profiles by client, task or account set so the list shows one job at a time. Filtering by group also scopes bulk work, which keeps an action aimed at exactly the profiles it should touch. A profile belongs to one group, and a group can sit in a folder.
Organise profiles into groups, step by step
Bulk operations
Select several rows and act on them once. Assign a proxy across the selection, move the selection into a group, or open and close profiles together. Each action follows the same rules as acting on a single row, repeated per profile.
Export and import
Export profiles to a file to hand them to another workspace or to keep a copy, then import the file where they should live. A PowerOps file keeps each profile's device identity, plus its cookies and proxy if you include them. Saved account sign-in details and site storage are not in the file.

Columns and the list
The columns button in the table's top-right corner opens List settings. Tick the columns to show, drag them into the order you want, pin a column to the left or right edge, and choose how tall the rows are. PowerOps remembers the layout.
Tags
Tags are short coloured labels, such as warmup or vip, and a profile can carry several. In the table they are only labels: clicking one does nothing. To change a row's tags, hover over its Tags cell and choose the pencil; for many rows, select them and choose Assign tags in the bar above the table. To see only the profiles with a tag, add a Tag rule in the search bar's filter.
Change a profile's group from the row
Hover over a row's Group cell and choose the pencil. A panel opens beside the cell: pick a group, or search to narrow the list. Nothing else on the page moves while you do it. To move several profiles, select them and choose Move.
Selecting rows
Tick a row's box to select it, Shift-click to select a range, or tick the box in the header for the whole page. The selection stays while you sort or change page, and it is cleared when you switch group, folder, search or filter, so a bulk action only ever acts on profiles from the list in front of you.
Open many at once
Select the profiles and choose Open. Two or more go through the Browser Queue, which opens them a few at a time and can be paused or cancelled from Settings, Browser Queue.

Share or move to another workspace
Select profiles and choose Share to copy them into another workspace you belong to, keeping the originals, or switch the dialog to Move to remove the originals once the copies exist.

Free up disk space
Every profile keeps a browser cache that grows with use. Settings, Downloads & Storage shows how much all profiles' caches take together, and Clear cache removes them from every profile that is closed, then says how much it freed. Cookies, sign-ins, history and everything a site stores for the profile stay; open profiles are skipped.
Live status on the row
Each row shows whether its profile's browser is running right now. A running profile holds its browser directory open, so wait for the row to show it closed before you expect its state to be written out.
