Configure profiles

Last modified: 29 November 2022

Inspection profiles keep information on the enabled inspections, the scope of files that these inspections analyze, and inspection severity settings. In IntelliJ IDEA, there are two types of profiles.

  • Profiles Stored in IDE are saved to the inspection folder in the IntelliJ IDEA configuration directory and are available for any project. You can copy the IDE profile to the current project using the Copy to Project option.

  • Profiles Stored in Project are saved to the inspectionProfiles folder in the .idea directory and are available within one project. You can copy the project profile to the IDE level using the Copy to IDE option.

IntelliJ IDEA comes with two default profiles of each type (Default and Project Default) that you can customize, or create new ones. You can also share, import, and export inspection profiles.
