# Share stages between profiles, or give one profile its own

> In SkedX CRM every company starts with one stage list, called Default stages: Enquiries holds it and every new profile starts on it. An admin opens a profile’s Profile settings › its stages card. Stages this profile uses names the list it is on, and the line at the foot names every profile a change to that list reaches. Open it to see every stage list in the company, with how many stages each has and which profiles use it (from six lists it can be searched). Pick another list to switch — a window compares the two lists first and nothing is lost; choose New stages for this profile to give it its own list, which starts as a copy; or No stages to turn stages off. A kept list nobody uses says nobody and has Remove, which archives it — nothing is deleted. The Deals board always uses the company list.

One stage list for the whole company by default, and a separate list only where a team really needs one.

## Step 1: See which stages a profile uses

Open the profile’s **Profile settings** › its stages card. **Stages this profile uses** names its list, and the line at the foot names every profile a change to that list reaches.

## Step 2: See every stage list in the company

Click the list’s name. Each list shows how many stages it has and which profiles use it. From six lists you can search them.

## Step 3: Switch to another list

Click another list. A window compares the two lists before anything changes; [Switch a profile to another stage list](https://skode.ai/help/crm/profiles/switch-a-profile-to-another-stage-list/) walks through it.

## Step 4: Give one profile its own stages

On a shared list, click **New stages for this profile**, then **Make new stages**. They start as a copy, and after that the two lists change separately.

## Step 5: Use no stages

Click **No stages**, then **Turn stages off**. Its records keep their status.

## Step 6: Remove a list nobody uses

A kept list nobody uses says **nobody** and has **Remove**. Removing archives it; nothing is deleted.

## Common questions

### What is Default stages?

The list every company starts with. Enquiries holds it, and every new profile starts on it.

### Do records change when a profile switches?

Only as you choose in the switch window. Nothing is deleted, the old list is kept, and Undo puts it back.

### Who sees a change to a shared list?

Every profile on that list. The card’s foot names them.

### What about a deal stage only one profile has?

The Deals board uses the company list. The lead still gets its deal, which stands at the nearest earlier company stage.
