# Multiple Managers (/docs/verdent-manager/core-features/multi-manager)

> Create multiple Managers so each one has its own style, memory, and tools



You can create multiple Managers in Verdent. It’s like building a small team—each Manager has its own name, personality, memory, and tools, and they won’t interfere with one another.

That means you don’t need to keep changing the setup of one Manager for different kinds of work, and you don’t need to open multiple windows either.

<CardGroup cols="2">
  <Card title="Manage multiple helpers in one place" icon="users">
    You can create a brand-new Manager or duplicate one you already have, then use each one for a different kind of work.

  <Card title="Each one keeps its own memory" icon="shield-halved">
    Every Manager has its own memory and preferences, so nothing gets mixed up with other Managers.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Tools can be set up separately" icon="wand-magic-sparkles">
    If you add or remove tools for one Manager, it only affects that Manager and won’t change the others.

## Where to manage multiple Managers [#where-to-manage-multiple-managers]

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Manager List">
    In the left sidebar, open **Manager List**. This is the fastest place to create a new Manager or switch to another one.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Manager Team">
    In the sidebar, open **Manager Team**. Here you’ll see all your Managers as cards, which makes them easier to view and manage together.

## How to create a new Manager [#how-to-create-a-new-manager]

<Steps>
  <Step title="Click New Manager">
    In **Manager List** or **Manager Team**, click **New Manager**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose how to create it">
    * **Start from scratch**: create a completely new blank Manager.
    * **Duplicate an existing Manager**: use one of your current Managers as a starting point, along with its memory and setup.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start using it">
    The new Manager will automatically get its own name and avatar. Verdent will open it right away, so you can start chatting immediately.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### What’s the difference between the two options? [#whats-the-difference-between-the-two-options]

| Option                            | Best for                                                                                                                                           |
| --------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Start from scratch**            | You want a completely clean Manager and prefer to set up its style and purpose yourself from the beginning.                                        |
| **Duplicate an existing Manager** | You already have a Manager that works well and want to copy it quickly, then make a few changes. The new Manager stays separate from the original. |

<Note>
  If you already have a Manager you really like, duplicating it is usually faster than starting from scratch.
</Note>

<Warning>
  You can create up to 

  **20**

   Managers.
</Warning>

## How to switch Managers [#how-to-switch-managers]

It’s simple—just click the Manager you want in **Manager List** or **Manager Team**.

Verdent will switch to it immediately and show that Manager’s own conversations and work state. Everything you do next will happen inside that Manager’s context.

Even if two Managers are working on the same project, their work states stay separate and won’t overwrite each other.

***

## How to give each Manager its own setup [#how-to-give-each-manager-its-own-setup]

Click **Configure** for a Manager and you can adjust three areas separately:

### Identity [#identity]

Set a dedicated name, avatar, and short description for this Manager so it better matches a specific kind of work.

### Memory and style [#memory-and-style]

Adjust what this Manager should remember, how it should speak, and what kind of working style it should prefer. Everything you change here affects only the current Manager.

### Tools [#tools]

You can install, import, or remove tools for each Manager separately. Anything you do here applies only to the current Manager and won’t affect the others.

<Note>
  Some built-in tools in Verdent are available to all Managers. Any extra tools you set up yourself are managed separately for each Manager.
</Note>

## How to delete or archive a Manager [#how-to-delete-or-archive-a-manager]

In **Manager List** or **Manager Team**, open the **More** menu next to a Manager:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Delete">
    Choose **Delete** to remove the Manager completely. If it is already connected to chat channels, Verdent will warn you first that those related chat records will also be deleted.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Archive">
    Choose **Archive** to put away a Manager you don’t need for now. If it is connected to chat channels, Verdent will also ask you to confirm before archiving.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Managers stay separate from one another [#managers-stay-separate-from-one-another]

This is the most important part of using multiple Managers—each one is independent:

| Area                                 | How they stay separate                                                               |
| ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Memory and style**                 | What each Manager remembers and how it speaks are kept separate                      |
| **Tools**                            | Tools installed for one Manager do not appear in other Managers                      |
| **Work state**                       | Task progress and open pages are saved separately for each Manager                   |
| **Still separate after duplication** | A duplicated Manager becomes its own version afterward and won’t affect the original |

So you can confidently assign different kinds of work to different Managers without them “crossing wires.”

## Helpful tips [#helpful-tips]

<Steps>
  <Step title="Split them by purpose">
    The easiest way is to create Managers based on what they do, such as “product planning,” “content organization,” or “project follow-up.”
  </Step>

  <Step title="Duplicate before starting over">
    Already have a Manager that works well? Duplicate it first and make small changes. It’s much faster than starting from scratch.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Don’t create too many">
    Too many Managers can become confusing. Create a new one only when you truly need a different style, memory, or set of tools.
  </Step>
