+The first tab of VTOL is the _"Mods"_ tab. This is a list of your currently installed mods, with the ability to disable any of them quickly. Note that core mods (those that come installed with Northstar/those that start with `Northstar`) have a yellow border to differentiate them from normal mods.
You can also right click on a specific mod to get the option to either delete it, or look at the mod's information (Mod Name, Author Name, Description, etc.)

+The sixth tab is the _"Profiles"_ tab, allowing you to create profiles for Northstar. Profiles are seperate Northstar installs, each with their own set of mods and seperated by folders. For example, you can have one profile with your normal set of mods, and another profile for only using core mods (those that common with Northstar/the ones that start with `Northstar.`).

+Hitting `Export Profile` will save your current profile to a `.vbp` file, which you can easily switch to by clicking `IMPORT` on the desired profile inside of VTOL. You can also share your profile or download someone else's profile if they send you this file by hitting `Add Profile` and selecting the downloaded file. These files get saved to `Titanfall2/VTOL_profiles`.
