04 - Adding Content

Populating Your ePortfolio with Meaningful Content

Now that you've laid the groundwork with sections and pages, let's explore how to add content.

Editing Your Pages:

Each section contains editable pages initially labeled "New Page." Click Edit this page to customise these pages.

Giving Your Pages Names:

The first step is to rename the page. Consider giving it the same name as the section for clarity (e.g., "Applications").

 

Content Options:

The Add content box offers a variety of options to enrich your pages:

• Rich Text Content: Build the foundation with text narratives. This option creates a text box where you can type your experiences and reflections.

Organising Your Content:

The content appears in a vertical column. Feel free to rearrange the order by dragging and dropping the two-way arrow at the top left of each item box. This allows you to structure your page in a way that optimises the flow of information.
