Features
Everything your portfolio needs, nothing it doesn't
Powerful where it matters: who sees what, how it's organized, and how it leaves the screen.

Decide exactly who can view your portfolio, and change your mind any time.
Private
Completely private, visible only to you.
Public
Anyone with the link can view it.
Access codes
Share with specific people or committees using a private key.
Item-level
Share only specific items, privately or publicly.
Export & print in seconds
Turn your portfolio into a polished PDF for printing, offline sharing or official submission.

- Export selectively: pick specific sections and items, and filter by date range, for a focused document that fits the review.
Documents & multimedia, attached where they belong
Back every claim with evidence. Attach material directly to the item it supports.
Folders
As many as you need per item, private or shared.
Files
Papers, syllabi, evaluations and teaching materials.
Multimedia
Images and videos of your teaching and research.
Links & text
Published articles, profiles, narratives and reflections.
Organized like a book, navigated like a website
Think of your portfolio as a book with chapters. Build a menu like a table of contents, then group related chapters under sub-menus, so reviewers find exactly what they need in a click.
- Teaching, research and service, each with its own sections
- Reorder pages, folders and items with a click
- Themes, colors and fonts that match your professional style
