## Using multiple configurations
79+
80+
The agent support multiple configuration files. When multiple configurations are found by the agent, the tray icon menu is expanded to contain the different configurations:
81+
82+
![Agent multiple configuration tray ycon](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arduino/arduino-create-agent/devel/images/linux/tray-icon-multiple-profiles.png)
83+
84+
The default `config.ini` file contains common configurations, every other config file inherit from it.
85+
86+
To create multiple configuration files:
87+
- stop the agent: tray bar icon -> pause then tray bar icon -> kill
88+
- find the `config.ini` file that is present in the `arduino-create-agent` installation folder
89+
- copy `config.ini` or create a new ini file (e.g. `example.ini`) with content:
90+
```ini
91+
name = your configuration nanem
92+
```
93+
add in this file other configuration options (you can override inherited values from `config.ini`)
94+
- restart the agent
95+
- click the tray bar icon and select the new configuration
