Select a contact to open their profile on the right, showing their name, title, and institution, along with:

- **Contact Information** — email address and phone number (only appears if the user has added it in their profile settings).
- **Job Profile** — company/organization, position/job title, and division/department.
- A **QR Code** you can scan or download as a vCard, and a **Send Email** shortcut.
