What is a LiveText Portfolio? A LiveText Portfolio may be used by students or faculty to compile, reflect, and present their
professional experiences and qualifications. A portfolio will most likely include multiple pages with
sections for text, images, attachments, links to other documents, and standards addressed.

How to Share your Portfolio LiveText allows the flexibility to share your portfolio with instructors, classmates and prospective
employers. There are a few different ways that you can share your portfolio, it can be sent to your
instructor to review, it can be shared with another LiveText account or you can send a visitor pass to an
external recipient to all them viewing access to your portfolio.
To send the document for review Sending a document for an instructor to review is simple.
Click on the send this document for review button
Make sure that look in my institutions radio button is selected.
Select the name of the person that will review your document.
Creating a Visitors Pass A Visitor Pass can be created to share documents with members outside of the LiveText community (e.g.
prospective employers). After a Visitor Pass is created, one or more documents can be added to the
pass. The pass may then be distributed to one or more visitors. Visitors may access only documents
shared with the pass from the Visitor Pass area on the LiveText homepage.
Click on tools
Click on Visitors Pass
Click on New
Create a Title for your visitors pass
Click Save
You will see your Visitor Pass listed with a code consisting of letters and numbers.
Sharing your document using Visitors Pass From within the document, click the Share this document button. The Share button is located
above the page title in the center.
Enter the visitor pass title (not the code), in the Search Viewer text box.
Based on the first few letters of text entered, LiveText's Autocomplete Share Mechanism
predicts the name of the Visitor Pass with whom the user wants to share. The system will
display the first 15 matches below the search text box. If the user is not listed, the system was
not able to identify the user. There were either no matches or several matches. Revise your
entry, and try again.
Click the Add to Share button when you find the user with whom you want to share.
