how do i actually set up ProfileService in roblox studio

I keep reading that ProfileService is safer than plain DataStore for saving player data, but every example I find assumes I already know how sessions and profile templates work. Where do you start if you just want coins and level to save?

Quick version. Put the module in ServerScriptService, require it, make a store with GetProfileStore("PlayerData", template) where template is a table of default values. On PlayerAdded call LoadProfileAsync("Player_" .. userId) on the store, then profile:AddUserId(userId), profile:Reconcile() so new template keys get filled in for old saves, and profile:ListenToRelease to kick the player if the session is lost. On PlayerRemoving call profile:Release(). Keep profiles in a table keyed by player and do all your reads and writes on profile.Data. Two gotchas. Tick enable studio access to API services in game settings or nothing saves while testing. And the author has retired it, ProfileStore is the successor with nearly the same shape, so if you're starting fresh use that.
