Profiles allow you to switch between different sets of Compiz settings easily.

Under Profile click the plus sign to add a new profile or the minus sign to delete one. All changes made in CCSM will be written to your current profile. Profiles are specific to the backend you are using. For instance, if you are using the GSettings backend then any new profile you create will be a GSettings profile. If you switch to a different backend then your current profile will not work and you will automatically switch to a profile available for that backend.

Unlike many other window managers, Compiz does not use multiple workspaces. Instead, it uses one workspace but splits it into multiple sections known as viewports. See [1] for more information.

Changing the Horizontal Virtual Size will change the number of viewports in a row. Changing the Vertical Virtual Size will add or remove rows of viewports. If you are using the Desktop Cube plugin, you will not be to use the rows of viewports added by increasing the Vertical Virtual Size. To take advantage of multiple rows of viewports, use the Desktop Wall plugin instead. A more detailed list can be found under CommonKeyboardShortcuts in the Compiz wiki or you can always just look at your plugin's configuration.

Besides mouse and key bindings, Compiz can also assign commands to certain actions involving the screen edges, for example: dragging a window to the screen edge. For instance: the Rotate Cube plugin has an option to switch to the next viewport if a window is dragged to the screen edge. Edge bindings can usually be disabled, through CCSM, by unticking Edge Flip options in the plugin's settings section or by disabling actions which have the screen icon next to them in the Bindings section of the relevant plugin.
