Your portfolio is where you will upload and store tangible evidence (in the form of documents, images, videos, audio clips, or charts) of your capabilities and accomplishments. Consider this section as a gallery of multimedia items that you can pull from and add to each VisualCV that you create.

Creating VisualCVs will typically go faster if you populate your portfolio first, so make this one of your first stops before you start creating a VisualCV.

TIP: If you are uploading a photo of yourself to use in the Contact section of your VisualCV, for best results select a photo where your head fills a square frame that is at least 144 pixels tall by 144 pixels wide.

To upload portfolio items:

1. Click the My Portfolio button at the top of any VisualCV page. (Alternatively, you can click the Manage Portfolio button in the Portfolio section on your Home page.)
2. On the My Portfolio page, click Add New Image, Add New Document, Add New Video, or Add New Audio depending on the type of item you want to add to your portfolio. If you want to add a link to a video you've published elsewhere (for example, on YouTube), click Add External Video. Tell me ways to upload a chart
3. For images, documents, and video and audio clips, we'll display the Upload New popup. On this popup, click Browse to locate the file on your computer. Type a title and (if you'd like) a description for the portfolio item, and then click Upload. Tell me what file types you accept
4. For external videos, copy the video's link from the site on which you published it and paste the link into the Add External Video popup. Type a title and (if you'd like) a description for the video, and then click Add Video.

To change your view of your portfolio items:

By default, the My Portfolio page shows you all of the items you've uploaded to your portfolio, listing the most recent items first. You can restrict your view to show only portfolio items of a certain type (for example, show only documents). You can also sort the list of items alphabetically. Here's how:

1. To restrict your view to portfolio items of a certain type, click Show Images, Documents, Video, or Audio, depending on the type of item you want to show.
2. To sort the list alphabetically instead of the order in which you've uploaded items, click Order Alphabetical.

To edit the title or description of a portfolio item:

1. On the My Portfolio page, point to the portfolio item you want to edit and click Edit.
2. Change the item's title or description.
3. Click OK.

To delete a portfolio item:

1. On the My Portfolio page, point to the portfolio item you want to edit and click Delete.
2. Click OK to confirm the deletion.

TIP: If you delete an item from your portfolio, the item will also be removed from any VisualCVs you have used it in. So, delete with caution!
