# See which profiles use a proxy

See which browser profiles use a proxy, and update all of them at once when you edit the proxy.

Go to **Proxy Library**, click the three-dot icon (⋮) next to a proxy and choose **Show linked profiles**. A list opens with every profile that uses this proxy. When you edit a proxy that is linked to profiles, you can push the change to all of them in the same step.

### Show linked profiles

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Open the proxy menu

Open **Proxy Library** in the left-side menu. Click the three-dot icon (⋮) next to the proxy, or right-click the proxy, and choose **Show linked profiles**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Look at the list

The **Linked profiles** window shows each linked profile with its name, proxy, group, status and tags. The number of profiles is in the title. Use the search field to find a profile.

If no profile uses the proxy, the window says "This proxy is not linked to any profiles."
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Close

The list is read-only. Click **Close** when you are done. To add or remove profiles, use **Assign profiles** instead: see [Assign a proxy to profiles](/proxy-management/manage-proxies/assign-proxy-to-profiles.md).
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

The **Assigned Profile** column in the Proxy Library also shows how many profiles use each proxy.

### Edit a proxy and update its linked profiles

When you change a proxy's address, login, type or rotation settings, the profiles that use it can be updated in the same step.

1. In **Proxy Library**, click ⋮ next to the proxy and choose **Edit**.
2. Change the details in the **Edit proxy** window.
3. If the proxy is linked to profiles, the window shows the checkbox **Apply changes to linked profiles**, with the number of linked profiles below it. It is ticked by default.
   * Leave it ticked to update the proxy settings of every linked profile.
   * Untick it to change only the proxy in the Proxy Library.
4. Click **Save**. A message confirms how many linked profiles were updated.

<div data-with-frame="true"><figure><img src="https://1094567560-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FH8yXxFJjKNEduZ4cdtjg%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-2ab52e2fbb60117ef1bf7588dc9c8a8a0307e1cd%2Fv5-proxy-edit-apply-linked.png?alt=media" alt="Edit proxy with Apply changes to linked profiles ticked"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

The checkbox is not shown when no profile uses the proxy, or when you edit a proxy from a profile's proxy cell.

### Permissions you need

Team members need **Edit/Delete proxies and set proxy groups** to edit a proxy. Viewing the Proxy Library needs **View proxies**. See [Roles and permissions](/team-features/roles-and-permissions.md).
