Session settings in the session manager

After creating a desktop and adding sessions, you can configure which columns of information will be displayed. This makes the interface more informative and convenient to work with.

informative view

After creating a session, the following data is displayed on the desktop:

  • Session name

  • Proxy

  • Actions (smart shortcuts):

    • Check proxy

    • Set proxy

    • Change IP

  • Session description (in Markdown format)

  • Pin/unpin session button

Let's take a closer look at smart shortcuts.

Smart shortcuts are displayed in a separate column on the desktop and allow you to perform the necessary actions with a single click.

How to add shortcuts

  1. Click on the "Actions" drop-down menu.

  2. Check up to six shortcuts that you want to see and, if necessary, set the order you want.

  3. Click "Save."

Available shortcuts

  • Edit Session - opens the current profile settings window.

  • Action log - allows you to view the chronology of each session's life cycle and restore data from backups if necessary.

  • Import Cookies - allows you to upload a cookie file to your profile.

  • Export cookies - saves the profile's cookies to a file.

  • Clear data - clears all storage, including: cache, cookies, and history for the selected session.

  • Check proxy - tests the functionality of the installed proxy.

  • Set proxy - opens the proxy selection window from Proxy Manager

  • Change IP - sends a request to the Change IP URL specified in the session settings to change the proxy IP address (if the proxy service supports it and the link is specified).

  • Warm up - starts automatic cookie collection and activity in the browser (available starting with the Pure plan).

  • Change desktop - opens a window for selecting the desktop to which the transfer will be made.

  • Clone - creates a copy of the session with all settings and configuration, but with new fingerprints and empty storage (without cookies, etc.)

  • Send - sends the session to another Linken Sphere user (available starting with the Light plan)

  • Send to Nooklz - sends the session to the Facebook auto-fill service (available starting with the Pro plan, requires a separate subscription to the service itself and specifying the API key in the Linken Sphere settings)

  • Move to trash - deletes the session.

After saving, the selected shortcuts will appear in the "Actions" column. Clicking on a shortcut immediately performs the action - for example, checks the proxy or starts warming up - without having to reopen the settings.

How to add additional columns

To add more columns with session information:

  1. In the upper right corner of the desktop, click on the icon with three vertical sticks (display settings).

  2. In the menu that opens, select the columns you want to add.

Changing the order of columns

You can change the order in which columns are displayed on the desktop:

  1. In the column management menu, hover your cursor over the two horizontal bars next to the column name.

  2. Hold and drag the column up or down to change its position.

Filtering and sorting sessions

You can use some of the columns to sort and filter the sessions displayed:

  • The first column for filtering (located at the session name level) is dynamic. The user can select a sorting criterion from the following options in the panel in the upper left corner: 1. Name (alphabetically) 2. Session creation time 3. Last use/start time 4. Last modification time (settings, description, connection, etc.) 5. Total time spent working with the session. Just below this panel, on the column name itself, you can: 1. Change the sort order (descending/ascending); 2. Up/down arrow icons - Switch the date/time display from relative (2 hours ago/13 months ago) to absolute (July 4, 2025, 2:34 p.m.); 3. Icon with a clock

  • OS (Operating System) - filter by session configuration (configuration type + operating system + browser)

  • Proxy - filter by connection country.

  • Statuses - filter by current session status.

  • Display only running sessions with 2 options: 1. running by any users (for example, when working in a team); 2. running by me (the current user under which you are logged in)

  • Display only pinned sessions

"httpOnly": true,
"name": "__Secure-YEC",
"path": "/",
"priority": "medium",
"sameSite": "lax",
"secure": true,
"session": false,

Both options are supported.

How to upload cookies:

  • Using the file selection button ("Select file");

  • By dragging the file into the program window (Drag'n'Drop);

After clicking the Create button, a session is created with the cookies you imported.

Warm up session

Warming up is the indexing of a session in search engines and advertising trackers by automatically visiting sites and resources that are popular in the location to which the specified proxy belongs. This action reduces the risk of being identified as a bot and increases the overall trust of the session by anti-bot systems.
