How to add image to your eportfolio

You can embed Google Drive files (documents, drawings, folders, forms, images, presentations, spreadsheets, and videos) into your e-portfolio site.

To embed a file:

• Go to the page where you want to embed the file
• At the top right, click Edit page button
• Place the cursor where you want the file to go.
• Click Insert > Drive. In the Insert window, search for a file to insert, or paste a Google file's web address at the bottom. Click Select.
• Choose a border, title, size, and other options, then click Save.
• At the top right, click Save to save the page.

When the original Google file is updated, it updates automatically on the site.

Note: For visitors to see the embedded file on your website, make sure "sharing" is turned on from the Share menu. It will display as view-only within the page.

If your site is private, you can share your site to allow individual people to view or edit your site. If your site is public, your site will already be viewable by anyone, but you can share your site to allow other people to edit your site. Follow these steps to share your site with other people:

• From the gear button (More drop-down menu), select Sharing and Permissions.
• In the Invite people text box, enter the email addresses of the people you wish to share your site with.
• Choose the level of access you wish to give them. (Anyone you set to Can view can look at the site. Anyone you set to Can edit can change the look and content of the site. Anyone you set to Is owner can change the look and feel of the site as well as make administrative changes, such as deleting the site or adding new owners.)
