Portfolios are made up from pages and sections.  Each page must have at least a single section.  The left hand menu reveals the portfolio’s pages and sections. You can add pages using the + button or delete pages using the delete button.  This example shows a portfolio with an artefact (Microchips jpeg).  A Portfolio is made up of artefacts.  Artefacts are simply pieces of content that can be uploaded to a portfolio (word documents, pdf files, images, sharestream videos etc).

Note: Deleting a page also deletes all sections and content of the page.  However, any associated artefacts of a deleted page will remain in the artefact repository for reuse.
