# A member's profile

> Everything O knows about one person, tab by tab, and what you can do from it: add them to a Circle, set a reminder, write a note, add contact details.

export const Annotated = ({src, alt, caption, markers = [], size}) => <figure className={"ann not-prose" + (size === "sm" ? " ann-sm" : "")}>
    <div className="ann-frame">
      <img src={src} alt={alt} className="ann-img" />
      {markers.map(m => <span key={m.n} className="ann-dot" style={{
  left: m.x + "%",
  top: m.y + "%"
}} aria-hidden="true">
          {m.n}
        </span>)}
    </div>
    {caption ? <figcaption className="ann-cap">{caption}</figcaption> : null}
  </figure>;

A profile brings together everything O knows about one person: who they are, why they may matter to you, how you are connected and what has changed. The buttons down its left side let you act on that person without leaving the page.

## When you would use it

Before you contact someone, to see how you know them and what to talk about. After you meet them, to write down what you learned, set a follow-up or add them to the Circle they belong in. Or whenever you want their email, phone or birthday in one place.

## Where to find it

Select a person anywhere in O: in search, in a list on Network, in a Circle or in an answer from Ask O. Their profile opens in a panel beside the page. Pin it back to the dock or close it from the top right.

At the top: their photo, name, role and company, how you are connected (for example **1st degree**), and when they joined their current company.

## How to

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add them to a Circle">
    Choose **Save to circle**. Pick one or more Circles, or choose **New Circle**, then confirm with the **Add to** button, which counts the Circles you picked. Adding someone never removes anyone already in a Circle.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set a reminder">
    Choose **Set reminder**. Pick a type (**Follow-up**, **Meeting**, **Birthday** or **Other**), write the reminder, and choose the date and time. Make it **Recurring** if it repeats, add notes if you like, then **Create Reminder**. It appears in [Notifications → Reminders](/notifications-and-conversations/reminders).

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Write down what you know">
    Choose **Notes**, then **New Note**. Capture a conversation, a follow-up or an insight, and it stays with this person.

    Choose **Contact info**. On **Contact**, add an email, phone, website and birthday; on **Social Handles**, their X / Twitter, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, Bluesky or Reddit. On **Extra fields**, define named sets of fields you want to keep for many people, for example investor fields, and use one as your default. Then **Save**.

  <Step title="Ask about them">
    Choose **Ask O** on the left, or **Find warm intro** on Overview, to go further with O.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What O does behind it

* **Hypotheses, not facts.** O's cards are marked **Hypothesis, to verify**, and Insights ends with **What to verify**. Check them before you rely on them.
* **Evidence first.** Connection Strength and Your history come from your notes, your reminders and your connected sources. Where O has little to go on, it says so; it is a snapshot, not a verdict.
* **What you add is yours.** Your notes, reminders and contact details are kept in your account. Notes are shared with a friend only if you turn on **Notes** in their [access settings](/network-and-circles/friends-and-sharing).
* **O never contacts them.** Nothing on a profile sends a message or reaches out in your name.

<Note>
  **About other people.** A profile shows what O has gathered about someone from your sources and public information. Use it to prepare and to remember, and treat what you read about people with care.
