Your portal is made of blocks: links, text, videos, FAQs and more. Add the ones you need, drag them into order, and your page comes together in minutes.
💡 Quick answer: open Portal designer, click or drag a block from the panel onto your page, edit it, then press Save all.
🛠️ Add a block
Open Portal designer
Click Portal designer in the left sidebar (on a phone, tap the menu at the top-left first). You start on the Portal tab in Blocks mode.
Pick a block
On a computer, pick a block from the Elements panel on the left: click it, or drag it to where you want it on the page. On a phone, tap Add in the bottom bar to open Add elements, then tap a block.
Fill in the details
Fill in the block's details. The preview on the right updates as you type.
Press Save all
Press Save all in the save bar (or Ctrl+S / ⌘S) to put your changes live.
✅ Good to know: everything stays a draft until you press Save all, and drafts are kept on your device if you close the tab. Press Discard to go back to what's live.
⚙️ The blocks you can use
Use the Search box at the top of the panel to find a block fast.
🛠️ Arrange and group
Reorder: drag a block by its handle, or use the up and down arrows (Move up, Move down) on the block's header.
Group: put blocks inside a Collection. A link folder holds links; a gallery holds up to 10 pictures, videos or audio clips.
Copy or remove: the block's ⋯ menu (More options) has Duplicate, Move to collection… and Delete.
🔒 Hide a block or make it members-only
Hide: click the eye button on a block to hide it from your live page without deleting it.
Charge for it: click the $ button (Monetize) on the block's header, or Set up under "Monetize this content", to open Access & pricing. Make it free for everyone, include it in your membership plans, or sell it as a one-time unlock.
Members only: turn on Only show in Plans tab to keep it off your main page so subscribers find it inside their plan.
Want to check what fans see? Above the phone preview, switch from You to Visitor.
💳 What needs Pro
Almost every block works on every plan, including your free trial. Collection, Banner and Profile video are Pro blocks and carry a crown in the panel.
⚠️ Heads up: if your plan moves off Pro, your Pro blocks are hidden from your live page, not deleted. Upgrade again and they come straight back.
Pro also lets you schedule any section: click the calendar button on it to choose when it shows up and when it hides again. Schedules you set keep working if you leave Pro, and you can remove one on any plan.
