Your Portal is your public home on Soul. It's one link that holds your story and everything you offer: sessions, events, courses, content, your membership and more. It replaces a link-in-bio page, a basic website and a booking page, so it's the link you put in your Instagram or TikTok bio. You design it in [My Portal → Design](https://portal.bringsoul.life/portal), with a live preview of your real portal beside the controls. ## When to use what | If you want… | Use | | ------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | | One home that shows everything you offer | Your Portal (this page) | | A focused page for one launch, retreat or free guide | A [landing page](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/audience/landing-pages/introduction) | | Your portal on an address you own, like `yourname.com` | A [custom domain](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/portal/custom-domain) | | A private space where members talk to each other | Your [community](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/community/introduction) | ## What visitors see Your portal reads top to bottom: 1. Cover image (your banner), Profile Photo and name. 2. Your Social Links and Bio, plus up to two Header Buttons (for example _Join Membership_ or _Book a call_). 3. Four blocks in a fixed order: Featured Video, Membership, Highlights, Links. 4. Your other sections (Sessions, Events, Courses and so on) in the order you choose. A small _"Powered by Soul"_ note appears at the bottom of every portal page. It can't be removed. Your portal address is `https://bringsoul.life/portal/`. Members who sign in can also reach their own space from your portal: their messages, activity, purchases and your community. ## Anatomy ### Profile (edited on the preview) In edit mode, every part of your profile has a pencil button right on the preview. Click it to edit. | Part | What it does | Good to know | | -------------- | -------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Name | The heading on your portal | You can set a Public name and a different Subscriber name (optional) that only active subscribers see. | | Bio | Who you are and what you offer | Rich text (bold, italics, links).

They don't create or delete anything: turning off Events hides your events from the portal, but your events still exist. | Section | Shows | Can be moved? | | -------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- | | Featured Video | A welcome video you upload or a YouTube/Vimeo link | No, fixed near the top | | Membership | A _Join_ card for your membership | No, fixed near the top | | Highlights | One or more items you pin to the top | No, fixed near the top | | Links | Link cards to your own pages or things in your portal | No, fixed near the top | | Sessions, Events, Courses | Your bookable and live offerings | Yes | | Contents, Collections | Items from your Content Library | Yes | | Soul Paths | Your Private Paths | Yes | | Passes | Passes members can buy | Yes | | Community, Community Notes | Your community and your announcements | Yes | | Chat Space | Your chat rooms | Yes | | Recommendations | Books, podcasts and places you endorse | Yes | Each section that's on has its own visibility: Public & Subscribers, Subscribers Only or Public Only.

Presets include _Calm & Universal_, _Grounded & Therapeutic_, _Gentle & Restorative_, _Poetic & Spiritual_, _Heart-Centered_, _Modern & Professional_ and _Minimal & Design-Forward_, plus newer _Sage_, _Clay_, _Indigo_ and _Dusk_. - Custom theme: choose your own Headline Font, Body Font, Background Color and Accent Color. - Fonts: change the headline and body font of any theme. - Logo: appears in your portal's navigation menu. Square, at least 200×200px, JPG, PNG or WebP. Your brand colours carry through to your sign-up flow and your emails too. ## Where it lives [My Portal → Design](https://portal.bringsoul.life/portal) (`portal.bringsoul.life/portal`) is one screen: - Theme & Logo and Sections tabs on the left (on a phone or small window, the controls are on the page and a Preview button opens the preview). - The Live Preview on the right, with Edit and Preview modes, a Mobile / Desktop switch and a Share button. ## How saving works | What you change | How it saves | | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Sections: on/off, order, visibility | Automatically. You'll see _"Saving…"_ then _"Saved"_. | | Theme, custom theme and fonts | Click Save in the Theme & Logo tab. Until you do, the preview shows _"Live preview · unsaved"_. | | Name, bio, photos, links, highlights, video, logo, header buttons | Each dialog saves on its own when you click Save, Done or upload. | There's no separate "publish" step. Changes go live as soon as they save. ## Good to know - Publishing an offering doesn't switch its section on. If something new isn't showing, turn on its section. - A brand-new portal starts with every section off. - Treat your handle (the part after `/portal/`) as permanent once you've shared it. See [Share your portal](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/portal/sharing). - The preview image people see when your link is shared comes from your cover image. - [Soul AI](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/soul-ai) can edit your bio, banner, theme and sections for you. You approve every change. ## Guides - [Design your portal from scratch](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/portal/design-your-portal-from-scratch): From an empty portal to one you're proud to share. - [Feature and reorder your offerings](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/portal/feature-and-reorder-offerings): Pin what matters to the top with Highlights. - [Add links and header buttons](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/portal/add-links-and-buttons): Point people at your booking page, newsletter or membership. - [Show different things to visitors and members](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/portal/visibility): Public sections, members-only sections and unlisted items. - [Share your portal](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/portal/sharing): Your link, QR code, pricing link and handle. - [Build a landing page for a launch](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/audience/landing-pages/introduction): A focused sales or sign-up page, designed with Soul AI. - [Use your own domain](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/portal/custom-domain): Serve your portal at yourname.com.
