    3. If the profile is found, it is selected causing the settings of this profile to be loaded into the Profile Details pane.

    4. If the profile does not exist in the current repository, the fields in the Profile Details pane continue to display the values.

  3. Copy the profile to another repository.
    1. Select the profile to copy from the profile list.
    2. Switch to the target repository.
    3. Modify the profile details, if necessary.
    4. Click Save As to save the new profile .
