With DataCamp Portfolio, you don't need any design or technical skills to showcase your top DataCamp achievements! View our blog post to see how you can use predefined templates and an intuitive interface to create an impactful data portfolio in minutes.

Note: DataCamp Portfolio is only available to active DataCamp subscribers. Non-subscribers are welcome to create a Portfolio, which will be publicly listed as "Anonymous Waffle" until a subscription is purchased.

1. Getting Started

You can also edit and customize other areas of your Portfolio, including your headline, highlights, completed work, education, work experience, and About Me section. You can click on each section to open the edit menu.

3. Sharing Your Portfolio

  • Single Link Sharing: Once your portfolio is ready, share it effortlessly with a single link, making it easily accessible to recruiters and others interested in your work.
  • You can also share your DataCamp Portfolio directly on LinkedIn.

To ensure your portfolio is public and others can access it, you must enable others to see your profile at the bottom of your personal account settings. To do so, mark the checkbox next to "Allow others to see my profile":

4. Common portfolio issues

People cannot access my portfolio: "Anonymous Waffle"

If you are enrolled in a DataCamp group, the visibility of your profile is controlled by the group's settings. If the group admin has toggled off "Allow public profiles," other people will not be able to view yours or other members' portfolios. This setting can only be adjusted by your group's admin, and it applies at the group level, not the user level.

I can't edit my portfolio:

This issue appears when an "insecure link" is added in the "About Me" section. The edit menu of this section can be found at the bottom of your portfolio page.

The Social Profiles section only allows secure links starting with "https." If the link you typed in starts with "HTTP" instead, the portfolio becomes uneditable until the link is deleted or corrected.

 

I can't edit my name:

If you are part of a group with SSO enabled, the First Name and Last Name sections will show as locked, and you won't be able to edit them.

In order to edit your name, please reach out to Support. We will be able to make this adjustment for you.
