# How to: Add projects to your portfolio

Projects are examples of your work, and they’re what clients hire from. That goes for every role, not just visual ones: musicians, marketers and developers can show what they produce too. Add several so clients can see your range.

### Step 1: Start a new project

1. Go to your portfolio while logged in.
2. Click **+ Add a project** in the Projects section, or click the **Add a project** card.

This opens the **Create project** page in **Manage projects**.

### Step 2: Add your project details

**Project title**

A name for your project. Clients see this in search and on your portfolio. For a film, it could be the film’s title. For a website, it could be the brand name.

**Project media** (optional)

Drop a file into the box or click **browse** to choose one. This is the lead file for your project and it shows at the top of the project page.

- You can upload one image, video or audio file, up to 10 GB.
- To show work hosted elsewhere, leave this empty and keep the project text only.

Once your file has uploaded, use **Replace file** to swap it or **Remove file** to take it off.

**Thumbnail**

After you upload a file, Twine creates a thumbnail for you. This is how your project appears on your portfolio and in client searches.

To change the crop of the thumbnail:

1. Click **Adjust thumbnail**.
2. Drag the image to reposition it, or use the **Zoom** slider.
3. Check the preview on the right.
4. Click **Save thumbnail**.

To go back to the original crop, click **Reset to automatic**.

|| Thumbnails are taken from the file you upload. You can’t use a different image.

**Description**

Explain the project: what the brief was, what you made and what the result was. Markdown and embeds work here. Use the **Preview** tab to check how it looks, and the **Formatting guide** link for help.

To show work hosted on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Vimeo, SoundCloud or Behance, paste the link on its own line and it turns into a player.

**Project roles**

Credit the roles you performed on this project. They’re taken from your profile, so remove any that don’t apply by clicking the **x** next to them.

### Step 3: Make your project live

Click **Create project**. Your project is published straight away. If you uploaded a file, clients see the full-quality version within a minute or two. You’ll see a **Processing image** badge until it’s ready.

|| If your file doesn’t seem to be processing, clear your browser cache and log back in.

### Editing or deleting a project

Go to **Manage projects** and click **Edit project** on the project you want to change. You can update the title, description, file, thumbnail and roles at any time. Click **Save changes** when you’re done.

- **Replace file** swaps your media for a new file and creates a new thumbnail.
- **Remove media (make text only)** removes the file and keeps the project as text only.
- **Delete project** removes the project from your portfolio completely.

### Changing the order of your projects

On your portfolio, drag and drop your projects into the order you want.
