# View and edit a patient profile URL: https://docs.awellhealth.com/docs/run-care-flows/view-edit-a-patient-profile > For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](https://docs.awellhealth.com/llms.txt). A patient profile is everything Awell holds about one person: their details, their care flows past and present, and what's still pending for them. ## Patient code and email address are read elsewhere in Awell [#patient-code-and-email-address-are-read-elsewhere-in-awell] A patient's data view, listing every data point collected for them alongside its current value and history Identification, personal details and contact information are all editable on the profile. * **Patient code**. The organization's internal identifier. Adding it makes look-ups and data exchange easier at runtime and in reporting, so add it wherever one exists. * **Email address**. Any Send email action in a care flow uses it, so without an address nothing is sent. ## Care flows for this patient [#care-flows-for-this-patient] The **Care flows** tab lists their active, completed and stopped care flows, so any of them can be opened to see what happened. ## Pending activities [#pending-activities] The profile also shows what's still outstanding for this patient. ## Delete a patient profile [#delete-a-patient-profile] Delete a profile and all its care flow data from the **Settings** tab of the profile. Do this when someone no longer wants to take part, or exercises their **right to be forgotten**. > **Deleting is permanent, with one narrow exception.** After an accidental deletion, email > [support@awellhealth.com](mailto:support@awellhealth.com) **within 30 days** and the backup can be > restored. After that the data is gone. Because this deletes clinical data, treat it as a deliberate act rather than tidying up. To end participation without losing the record, [stop the care flow](/docs/run-care-flows/stop-or-delete-a-care-flow) instead. ## Next steps [#next-steps] **Next:** [Follow up on pending activities](/docs/run-care-flows/follow-up-on-pending-activities) across the whole population, rather than one patient at a time.
