About Portfolio project pages.

Portfolio pages guide your project participants through the process of collecting artifacts and reflecting on their work and experiences.

Project pages consist of sections. Think of the sections as building blocks for your page. Each section can provide information to participants or ask a question, provide a space for participants to enter comments or reflections, and allow participants to attach artifacts.

Resize: To expand or shrink the size of the text box, click and drag the resize icon in the lower right corner of the box.

Delete section: If you wish to delete a section on a page, click the Delete this section button at the lower right of each section.

Move: You can move pages around within your Portfolio project. To move the page, click Move this page on the "I want to" menu. In the following screen, assign a new page location by selecting a number from the drop-down menu. This option will only be available for pages that have not been distributed.

Copy: You can copy a page and all its contents and settings within a project, or into another project. Click Copy this page on the "I want to" menu. On the next screen choose the project to copy the page to, and enter a name for the copied page. The copied page will become the last page of the project you selected.

Delete: If you don't need the page or any of its contents, you can delete the page by clicking Delete this page on the "I want to" menu. This option will only be available if the page has not been distributed.
