# Working with Partner Profile


## Profile management


Partners manage profiles containing company details (name, description, website, logo) with public/private visibility control, asynchronous validation, and status tracking allowing one update at a time.

1. **Profile Information** – Partner profiles must include essential company details such as display name, description, website URL, logo, IndustrySegments and PrimarySolutionType.

1. **Multilingual Support** – Partner profiles support multiple languages. Each localized version of the profile contains an attribute for locale.

1. **Profile Visibility Control** – Partners can configure their profile visibility (public or private).

1. **Profile Storage** – Profile information will be stored within the partner account object.

1. **Profile Status Management** – Profile updates are validated asynchronously before publishing. Partners can check the latest profile updating status (IN\$1PROGRESS, SUCCEED, FAILED and CANCELLED). Only approved profiles become publicly visible.

1. **Request Concurrency Control** – Only one profile update request is allowed at a time. If a profile update is already in progress, customers must explicitly cancel the ongoing update via the CancelPartnerProfileUpdateTask API before initiating a new one.

1. **Cancellation of Update Tasks** – Partners can cancel an in-progress profile update by calling the CancelPartnerProfileUpdateTask API. Cancellation is only allowed while the update is in the IN\$1PROGRESS status and must be completed before starting a new update.
