Favorites

Quick start

1. Sign in to Portura. Guests cannot save favorites.
2. Open someone else’s public portfolio (/p/[slug]).
3. In the page header, click the star (Add to favorites). The control switches to Remove from favorites when the portfolio is saved.
4. Open Favorites from the app sidebar (/favorites).
5. Click a row under Saved portfolios to open that public page again.

Deep dive

Sign-in and ownership

Favorites and the star control require a signed-in account. If you are signed out, you will not see a working save path for favorites.

On a public portfolio, the star appears only when you are signed in and you are not the portfolio owner. You cannot favorite your own portfolio from the public page header.

Your Favorites page

Open Favorites from the sidebar (/favorites). This page is for you only — a private list of portfolios you starred for quick access.

When you have at least one favorite:

Helper text on the summary card: Portfolios you have starred for quick access.

Empty state

If you have not starred anyone yet, you see No favorites yet with: You haven't added any portfolios to your favorites. Browse portfolios and click the star icon to save them here.

Star a public portfolio while signed in, then return here.

Discover / search (when available)

Feature flag: Portfolio search is not always enabled. When search is available on your deployment, Favorites may show:

• Browse more portfolios (when you already have favorites), or
• Browse portfolios (empty state)

Both open /portfolios/search. When search is off, those buttons do not appear — you can still open public portfolios from shared links and other discovery paths.

See Portfolio search for how search works when the flag is on.

• Public page overview — owner guide to the live public page.

Tips

• Stay signed in before you expect the star or the Favorites page to work.
• Use Remove from favorites on a public page header if you want to drop a saved portfolio.
• Favorites are for your quick access — do not treat the list as a public showcase.
• When Browse portfolios / Browse more portfolios appears, use it to find more public portfolios to star.
• On Favorites, use the ? next to the title for a short reminder and a Learn more link back to this article.

Troubleshooting

I do not see a star on a public portfolio

• Sign in, then refresh the public page.
• Confirm you are not the owner — owners do not get the favorite control on their own page.
• Use a published public URL (/p/[slug]), not the editor preview alone.

Favorites says “No favorites yet”

• Star at least one other person’s public portfolio while signed in, then reopen /favorites.
• Confirm the star toggled to Remove from favorites before you leave the public page.

I cannot open Favorites

• Sign in first. /favorites is a protected workspace page and redirects guests away.
