To apply a profile to a UML diagram, select the Profile tab in the properties view (left click in the canvas and select Show Properties View) of the model itself (click somewhere on the blank canvas) and click the “Apply profile” button (green plus sign). Similarly, you can apply a stereotype to a model element, for example a class.
