Overview packs are '''pre-built ~~set~~ of overview profiles''' and in most cases, include their own set of settings, such as bracket display and labeling.

There are also several other advantages of using or releasing overview packs. One worth mentioning ~~is that~~ some overview packs ~~were~~ designed with a ~~lot~~ of careful considerations and ~~many~~ standards applied. This is especially important in some corporations, big alliances or coalitions. For instance, many of the overview packs may release set X profiles which are used on important scenarios and in turn used by ~~many~~ members of certain organizations; there is also the case of standardization across these profiles~~, while~~ building your own overview can be good or better on some cases, using the same overview pack across many players at once enables you to follow and issue commands or intel with the knowledge that the other person who listed or gave that intel has the same overview setup as yours.
