6.6 Save Complete Setups With Profiles ¶

A presentation profile records a coordinated setup: enabled Presentation Options and their order, the sound pack, the voice palette, and portable spatial settings. This is useful for switching between focused work and leisure reading, between quiet and information-rich feedback, or between audio environments.

To save and use a profile:

1. Configure the live options, sound pack, voice palette, and spatial choices you want.
2. Open Presentation Profiles from Aural Home or press P there.
3. Press N to save the current live configuration as a new named profile.
4. Later, select that profile and press RET or a to apply its saved values.
5. If you deliberately change the live configuration and want the selected profile to adopt it, press w. If you instead want to discard the live differences, press a to restore the saved profile; Emacsvox asks before replacing the diverged values.

Only one profile identity is selected. Active means the selected profile’s saved values match the live configuration. Diverged means the same profile is still selected but the live values differ; it is a status, not an unsaved editor warning.

Profiles do not copy presentation rules. Edit rules in Presentation Options or Overrides. They also do not capture buffer-local Voice Lock state or current-buffer rules, because those belong to an individual buffer rather than a global setup.
