Portfolio editor overview

Jump nav, Setup Pages, workspace menu, save/publish, and Mira.

Quick start

  1. Sign in, open My Portfolios, and click Edit on a portfolio card (or the card menu → Edit) to open /portfolios/edit/[pid].
  2. Use the sticky section jump nav near the top to move to a group — labels are Import (optional) · Setup · Intro · Career · Showcase · Sections · Settings.
  3. Find go-live and workspace actions in the top workspace header: Preview, Publish / Publish draft (when available), and the three-dot Portfolio workspace menu.
  4. You should now see the editor chrome and know how to jump sections and reach publish without scrolling the whole page.

Draft vs live publish steps: Publish and drafts. Dashboard home: My Portfolios.

Deep dive

The edit workspace

/portfolios/edit/[pid] is where you edit portfolio content — profile text, career items, gallery media, privacy, and related settings. Visual theme controls (colors, layouts, Theme Designer) live on /portfolios/theme-edit/[pid]; see Theme editor overview.

Always use the canonical /portfolios/edit/[pid] path. Older /portfolio/... aliases may redirect, but Help teaches /portfolios only.

Jump nav labels and targets

The sticky bar (Portfolio section nav) scrolls the page to the start of each group. Exact labels in the UI:

Jump labelScrolls to (anchor)What you land near
Importsection-importImport from resume (owners; optional workflow)
Setupsection-nicknameNickname, portfolio URL, and Pages
Introsection-profileProfile, Connect, Summary, Hero
Careersection-projectsProjects plus experience, education, certifications
Showcasesection-galleryGallery and related showcase sections
Sectionssection-contactContact form, embeds, content blocks
Settingssection-privacyPrivacy, SEO & Sharing, and Google Analytics

Import, Setup, and Settings appear for portfolio owners. Collaborators with edit access still see Intro through Sections.

Below the built-in cards, Additional sections is where you add extra galleries, projects, and other repeatable sections. Steps: Compose your portfolio. Page section order lives in theme Layers, not in this editor.

This overview stays at chrome level — section-by-section field guides are separate articles (for example Nickname, URL, and pages, Profile, connect, summary, hero, Import from resume). Settings and Mira: Privacy, SEO, and Google Analytics and Mira portfolio review.

Workspace header: Preview, publish, and menu

On the edit page, the workspace header (right side) typically includes:

  • Preview — opens /portfolios/preview/[pid] for a private look at your current work
  • Publish or Publish draft — first go-live vs updating a public site with saved draft changes (owners). Full flow: Publish and drafts
  • Status indicator (for example Public / Private / processing)
  • Three-dot Portfolio workspace menu — jump to Preview, Edit theme, Version history (owners), View public page, and My Portfolios without leaving the portfolio workspace

When a public portfolio has an unpublished draft, a banner in the editor reminds you that the live page stays unchanged until you publish.

Mira review chat

Owners see a fixed Mira entry in the lower-right of the editor (Ask me about your portfolio). Use it for AI review chat about this portfolio’s content. Deep steps for that panel belong in Mira portfolio review when published.

Themes vs content

Edit content here; style the public page in the theme editor. From the workspace menu choose Edit theme, or open theme-edit from preview. High-level theme help: Theme editor overview.

Tips

  • Start with Setup and Intro so nickname, URL, Pages (on Plus), and profile basics are solid before long career lists.
  • Use jump nav instead of hunting for collapsed sections — the sticky bar stays available as you scroll.
  • Save each section form before Publish draft; the header button stays disabled while an edit session is open.
  • Prefer Preview to check layout, then publish when ready, then View public page from the workspace menu.
  • Open Mira from the fixed corner control when you want review suggestions — leave detailed Mira workflows to the dedicated article.
