New topic for #6020

Also adding @isidorn for feedback

[sandy081]

Before jumping into the create profile in the start, how about a quick introduction about profiles and the current state of art like mentioning about default profile and what it is?

[isidorn]

Not sure if each of these need to a be a subsection. Probably a bullet point list is enough,

[isidorn]

Can we have this as part of FAQ. Troubleshooting sounds like we are expecting issue,

[isidorn]

I would love us to link from this doc to a profiles video @burkeholland is working on.
That should probably be at the top

[isidorn]

Thanks for working on this. I left some minor comments.
I will be happy to help with some sections. If that is the case just add a todo@isidorn on the section and I will take care of it.

Empty profile also resets the UI state including view layout. Workspace state is not included which is sizes, editor layout etc., My suggestion would be not to separate UI state here. In FaQ or advanced section, we can clarrify this.

Also assigning to me and to February so we get this done during Endgame week.
@gregvanl let me know if you would like me to write some sections? I will have time next week.

@isidorn Would you like to work on the "Uses for Profiles" section? Those examples might also be useful if you are planning to do a blog post.
To make it easier to work together, I'll create a branch in vscode-docs with the current version and we can then both commit directly there and then merge the final content in a PR to vscode-docs main when we're done.
Update: topic is now in new branch at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/profilesTopic/docs/editor/profiles.md

@gregvanl sounds good to me. I can work on the "Uses for Profiles" section. I will push to that branch directly and you can edit it as you think is best. Thank you
