Edit a Page

The central work in a Portfolio project takes place in the "Edit Your Page" screen. Here you can add sections to your page, attach artifacts, enter reflections, or read feedback from your instructor.

1. Go to My Portfolios (click My Portfolios in the "Go to" menu), and then click the title of the portfolio you would like to work on to go to the Portfolio Summary.
2. Click the page title that you want to edit in the Contents. You will move to the "Edit page" area.

Work on a Portfolio page.

You can change the page title at any time by modifying the title that appears in the text box at the top of the screen.

The basic building block of Portfolio pages is the section. Sections hold your reflections and artifacts. You can use as many sections as you like to create your page. Note: You cannot add sections to pages in invited portfolios. Each page is created with one section by default. Follow the steps below to add content to the sections on your page.

1. To add a section, click the Add section here button in the location on your page where you want the new section to appear.
2. To add an artifact, click the Attach Artifact button within a page section. A new window will open that will allow you to attach an artifact.
3. Select the artifact you would like to appear on this page from the listing of your artifacts at the top of the new window. Or, you can create a new artifact in the area at the bottom of the new window. The new artifact will be created and also attached to your page. You can also view more detailed instructions about how-to create a new artifact.

4. Once you've chosen an artifact to place within the page, click Attach artifact or Create artifact. You will be taken back to the "Edit Your Page" screen and your artifact will be attached to the desired section.
5. To enter a reflection, type in the text area labeled "Your reflection" or copy and paste text from another source. Any formatting applied to a document you copy from will be lost when pasted into the text box. As with all text boxes in the Portfolio tool, it is possible to add HTML coding to your format your text reflections. Be sure to choose the HTML option at the bottom of the text area if you use HTML code.

You can use the following four buttons as you work on your page:

• Preview: The Preview option shows you what the page will look like when published on the Web.
• Save: Be sure to save your work frequently.
• Finished: This will save all your changes and return you to the Portfolio Summary page.
• Cancel: This will ignore any changes you've made since you last saved the page, and return you to the Portfolio Summary page.
