# Local Scout data

> Find, inspect, and reset the local Scout database and profile state.

Scout stores local runs, fetched pages, entries, article records, and profile
settings on this computer.

## Database Path

```bash theme={null}
scout db path
```

Use this when you need to back up local results or confirm which database a
script is using.

## Local Results

Inspect recent local state:

```bash theme={null}
scout runs list
scout pages list --limit 20
scout entries stats
scout articles status
```

Local results are not automatically synced to Atlas. Use [sync](/docs/scout/sync)
only after review.

## Profiles

Profiles keep laptop, workstation, and test settings separate:

```bash theme={null}
scout config profiles
scout config create-profile studio
scout config use-profile studio
scout --profile studio run https://example.org
```

Profile files store non-secret settings. Login tokens and saved search keys use
the operating system credential store.

## Reset Local Data

Resetting deletes local runs, entries, pages, and article records:

```bash theme={null}
scout db reset
```

Use reset only when you no longer need the local results.
