Description

When profiling multiple configurations, I often find myself forgetting which tab is which run-configuration.
What I suggest is supporting renaming for the title of the tab, and/or adding a text box for comments inside each tab. This way, you can leave notes about the run.

Thanks!

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. First inspect the tab UI and profiling configuration flow to determine whether tab titles, per-tab comments, or both are feasible. Done means each profiling tab can retain the requested identifying information while switching between configurations.
