To add a web page:

1. Click Page.
2. Enter a Title and Description for the page.
3. Use the Rich Text Editor to design a page within your portfolio.

5. As you build your web page, click the Preview button in the upper-right, above the Rich Text Editor, to see how the page will look when published.

Note: Your Portfolio automatically saves once you have completed an upload, or once you have finished typing and clicked your cursor out of the text field. However, note that if you are experiencing poor Internet connectivity, auto-save may not function correctly. Check the auto-save timestamp in the upper right of your Portfolio item to ensure it is saving as you work.
