+### Backup and Restore - Hit the Ground Running
+
+With Portmaster 1.6 you can now import and export all your configurations. So the next time your windows needs a reinstall or you want to try another linux distro you can easily take your Configurations from one Portmaster to the other.

+
+### Share App Profiles, Help the Community!
+
+We also created a new GitHub repository where the community can share profiles: [Portmaster-Community/apps](https://github.com/Portmaster-Community/apps)  
+Contributions are super welcome, and some profiles are already there. If this gains a lot of traction we will think about how to integrate this into Portmaster directly - then you won't have to go looking for the profile but Portmaster tells you that you can apply a community profile automatically.
+
+So, if you have a super neat configuration for an application please share it with the community!

+
+With this update you can merge multiple app profiles into one or remove them.
