+# Remote Peer Profile
+
+## Purpose
+
+Remote Peer Profile displays profile data for a YaCy peer.
+
+Use it to understand who operates a peer and what information it publishes.
+
+## What You Can Do Here
+
+- Remote Peer Profile displays profile data for a YaCy peer.
+- Edit or inspect the specific content object shown on the page.
+- Check whether the result is local-only, user-visible, or peer-visible before publishing.
+
+## Page Architecture
+
+Content application pages store and render peer-local objects such as bookmarks, messages, wiki text, tables, profiles, or translations. They combine form editing with a rendered view of the stored object.
+
+## Correct Use
+
+Edit content deliberately and check the rendered page after saving. For shared or peer-visible features, assume written content may be read by someone else unless the page clearly says otherwise.
+
+## Access And Safety
+
+The page may be visible, but the backend performs authentication checks for protected actions.
+
+Protected related endpoint(s): `/ViewProfile.html`.
+
+Backend checks: administrator authentication.
+
+## Automation And API
+
+Page backend: `source/net/yacy/htroot/ViewProfile.java`.
+
+| Endpoint | Method | Access | Backend |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `/ViewProfile.html` | `GET or POST` | mixed | `source/net/yacy/htroot/ViewProfile.java` |
+
+### Parameter Guide
+
+The table explains values that an agent or script must set deliberately. Parameters not relevant to a task should be omitted or left at the page default.
+
+| Parameter | Meaning and valid values | Care |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `hash` | YaCy hash identifier for a peer, URL, row, or stored object. Use exact values copied from YaCy output. | Set only when this option is part of the intended request; otherwise omit it and let YaCy use the page default. |
+
+Example request shape:
+
+```http
+GET or POST /ViewProfile.html?display=...&hash=...
+```
+
+## What To Expect
+
+Expect stored or rendered content: a message, page, table row, bookmark, profile, translation, or file view. After changes, reload or revisit the object to confirm what was actually saved.
