Purpose of the Running Profile

Running configuration files—whether regular configuration files or quick configuration files—is the key to your work. Multilogin now allows you to easily view and manage all active configuration files in one place.

Why the Running Configuration is Useful

Complete control: View all running profiles in one place to avoid confusion
Increased efficiency: Stop or save multiple profiles with just a few clicks
No data loss: Allows you to save quick profiles to retain session information for future use
Better organization: Filter and sort profiles to focus on what you need right now

How to View the Overview of Running Profiles

Go to the 'Profiles' tab
Click 'Run Profile'
View the complete list of currently running profiles (General and Quick)
Use the selector at the top to filter by General or Quick profiles

How to Control the Configuration File Window State

Go to the 'Profiles' tab
Click on 'Running Profiles'
Right-click a profile and select 'Window State'
Choose one of the following options: 'Bring to Front', 'Minimize', 'Maximize'

How to Stop Running a Configuration File

Go to the 'Profiles' tab
Click 'Run Profile'
Stop a profile: Click the 'Stop' button to the right of any running profile to close it. Select multiple profiles using checkboxes, then click 'Stop' in the top menu to close all profiles at once.

How to Save a Quick Profile as a Regular Profile

Quick profiles are temporary and will be deleted when stopped – but now you can save them:

Go to the "Profiles" tab
Click "Run Profile"
Save the quick profile as usual: right-click the running quick profile, then click "Save as Regular Profile". Use the checkbox to select the running quick profile, then click "Save as Regular Profile" in the top menu.
Right-click the running quick profile, then click "Save as Regular Profile"
Use the checkbox to select the running quick profile, then click "Save as Regular Profile" in the top menu

Saved profiles are moved to local storage by default – you can switch to cloud storage later in the profile settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens to the quick profile if I stop without saving?

It will be deleted along with all data. Saving it first will preserve the session and local storage.

Can I save multiple quick profiles as regular profiles at once?

Sure! Just check the checkbox, and then use the 'Save as Default Profile' option.

Where are the saved configuration files stored?

By default, saved profiles are transferred to the local storage on your computer, but you can switch to cloud storage anytime in the profile settings.

Can I copy the IDs of multiple running profiles?

Of course! Use the checkboxes to select the profiles, and then click 'Copy Profile ID' to get all the IDs at once.
