Creating Portfolio Templates
A portfolio template is a set of pre-defined pages that your community members can use to create their own portfolio. Additional content can be added to the pages of your template to provide instructions or resources to community members. It is important to note that the template you create will still allow members to control the design aspects and content of their portfolio. The portfolio template only designates the pre-defined pages of the portfolio.

Next, choose the community.

Customizing the Template
