How to Build Your Branded Portal

Branded Portals are a great way to share collections at scale and distribute assets while staying on brand. With Branded Portals, you can sort your assets into sections, making it easier for users to browse
for the assets they need.

By default, your portal will start with one section. To add another section, hover over the "+" icon and select Add Section Above or Add Section Below.

3. You can select assets from Categories and Collections and add them directly to a portal. Users can select a Category or a Collection and sync it to a section of the branded portal. This section will be automatically updated once the branded portal is published. From then on, if any assets are added to that Category/Collection, they automatically appear in the branded portal without needing to republish it.
