# About the Profile Analyzer package
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Profile Analyzer aggregates and visualizes frame and marker data from a set of [Unity Profiler](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Profiler.html) frames to help you understand their behavior. You can use the Profile Analyzer to compare two sets of data side-by-side, which complements the single frame analysis already available in the Unity Profiler.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For information on how to use the Profile Analyzer, see the documentation on the [Profile Analyzer window](profile-analyzer-window.md)

|
## Known limitations
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Profile Analyzer has the following known limitations:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The original Profile data is not saved in the Profile Analyzer .pdata file. Therefore, you should store both the Unity Profiler .data file (or the .raw file exported from a stand alone player) along with the .pdata file.
|
||
|
|
* When you click on a marker, the Profile Analyzer attempts to jump to the same marker in the Unity Profiler if the same data is loaded. You must make a selection in the Unity Profiler beforehand for this to work. In the Unity Profiler in the UI view, the vertical height is not correct.
|
||
|
|
* On Unity 5.6 and 2017.4, the Thread Select Window allows you to collapse the 'All' threads item, which has no purpose.
