Public URL

This knowledge base will not be updated after 27 August. You can find the new knowledge base on: knowledgebase.portflow.app

In Portflow, it is possible to generate a public URL for a snapshot of the portfolio. A public URL allows someone outside the LMS (Canvas or Brightspace) to view the locked copy of a Portfolio. This URL allows the portfolio to be submitted in assignments in other applications.

If you want to submit your portfolio in your LMS, you don't need to create a public URL. Read the article about submitting Brightspace or Canvas assignments to learn more about submitting your portfolio there.

Two types of public URLs

There are two types of links: an assessment link or a showcase link. Find out what the differences are in the table below.

Assessment URL	Showcase URL
All versions of evidence	Only latest versions
Comments and feedback are visible	Comments and feedback are invisible
No option to undo sharing	Link can be removed
Password-protected	Freely accessible with the link
Goals are visible	Goals are not visible

Generating an URL

Make sure you created a locked copy of the portfolio
Go to the 'my archive' page
Click on the three dots (⋮) next to the locked version you would like to share.
Click on 'generate shareable link'
Click on 'showcase portfoliolink' or 'assessment link'
Copy the URL (and password) of the portfolio to easily share this with assessors/others
Click on 'OK'

As soon as the URL is generated, the icon turns blue. By clicking on the icon, the URL (and password) can be retrieved.
