+Profiles configuration
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Checkbox-gui supports execution profiles via a predefined set of configuration
+options that allow customization of the welcome screen, displayed whitelists
+as well as saving results locally or sending the submission file to Launchpad
+or to the Certification database/HEXR. 
+
+The profile settings are part of a launcher script and use checkbox-gui as a
+shebang to interpret the key/values.
+
+As checkbox-gui is a Qt application, settings must follow the INI-style rules
+of the `QSettings <http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/QSettings.html>`_ class.
+
+Multilines values are supported but must be enclosed in doubles quotes and extra
+lines must start with one space, e.g:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    [category]
+    key = "Hello
+     World"
+
+
+- From QML:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    settings.value("category/key", i18n.tr("default_value"))
+
+- From C++:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    settings->value("category/key", app.tr("default_value"))
+
