Keep in mind, that some CLI commands are not working as intended. We are currently improving Multilogin CLI.

CLI command flags serves to modify the command's behavior. Some flags are optional.

Example: you need to specify your browser type when using create_profile, such as --browser-type mimic.

Error message: required flags are missing for ProfileID `--values`

How to use flags

If you need to apply the same flag with various values, you need to type it twice. E.g., you want to remove several folders, let's say folder X and Y. Parameter values is used for specifying the folder id for that command. In that case, your prompt to the CLI will be the following:
```
./xcli remove-folder --values X --values Y
```
CLI will warn you if flags are missing. You can use xcli command-name -h for full help.
