# Switching profiles

**In short:** you work as one active profile at a time. Switch it from the sidebar or from Settings, and the whole app re-points to that profile: its voice, drafts, schedule, analytics, and memory.

#### How to switch

There are two ways:

* **The profile switcher in the sidebar.** Pick any connected profile to make it active. The page reloads as that profile.
* **Settings → Connected accounts.** The "Acting as" panel lists every profile you own or help manage, and lets you switch there too.

There is also a **platform toggle** (Twitter or LinkedIn) that switches the platform tint and jumps to your main profile on that platform.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you have more than one profile on the **same** platform (say two Twitter accounts), use the sidebar switcher to pick the exact one. The platform toggle only jumps to your main profile on that platform.
{% endhint %}

#### What changes when you switch

The active profile decides everything downstream:

* the **voice** audenAI writes in,
* the **drafts, scheduled posts, and library** you see,
* the **analytics** that load,
* the **memory** audenAI has for that profile,
* the **schedule and posting goal**, which are set per profile,
* and the platform tint behind highlights (lavender for Twitter, light blue for LinkedIn).

Nothing crosses between profiles. Your LinkedIn voice never appears in your Twitter drafts, and one profile's memory stays with that profile.

#### Train before you work

When you switch into a brand-new profile that has not been trained yet, VoiceMoat asks you to train its voice first. Replies, Inspiration, and drafting stay locked until that profile has a voice to write in.

Training takes about a minute. On Twitter, click to analyze your tweets; on LinkedIn, harvest with the extension or paste a few posts. See Training your voice.
{% endhint %}

#### Common questions

**Do I lose anything by switching?** No. Each profile keeps its own drafts, schedule, and history. Switching just changes which one you are looking at.

**Why did the colour change?** The soft tint behind highlights follows the active platform: lavender for Twitter, light blue for LinkedIn. Main buttons look the same on both. It is a quick visual cue for which profile you are working as.

**Can I be signed into two profiles at once?** You have one active profile at a time in the dashboard. To work in another, switch to it. The Chrome extension follows your active profile too.
