--- title: Profile switcher description: This article explains how to use the server-side profile switcher. url: https://docs.tealium.com/server-side/profiles/ss-profile-switcher/ --- ## How it works Each account can contain several profiles. The profile switcher lets you quickly switch accounts, profiles, and profile versions. ![](https://docs.tealium.com/images/server-side/save-publish/ea-server-side-profile-switcher.png)
When you switch to the server-side platform from a client-side profile, the most recently saved version of the profile is loaded. It might not be the same version you had been working on previously.
### Version status messages When you select a version in the profile switcher, it displays one of the following messages that compares your version's changes to the currently published version: * **You are ahead of the published version** Your current version includes changes that are not in the currently published version. * **You are up to date** Your current version and the currently published version match. * **You are behind the published version** The currently published version includes changes that are not in your current version. To view those changes, click **View latest published changes**. For more about these status messages and how to use them, see [About Server-Side Saving and Publishing](https://docs.tealium.com/about-save-publish/). ## Switch profiles and versions Use the following steps to switch to another profile: 1.
