Use this interactive demo to learn how to showcase your work with a LinkedIn portfolio section.

Quick summary

Adding a portfolio on LinkedIn lets you showcase work samples, projects, and documents directly on your profile. Use the Featured section or the Projects section to display links or files that highlight your professional accomplishments.

Steps

Go to your LinkedIn profile page and click the 'Add section' button beneath your name and photo.
Under 'Recommended', select 'Add featured' to add a portfolio section to your profile.
Click the '+' icon in the top-right corner of the Featured section to begin adding content.
Select the format for uploading your portfolio — choose either a document or a link-based option.
Still under 'Recommended', select 'Add project' to also add a dedicated Projects section to your portfolio.
To attach your portfolio to your work history, click the '+' icon in the top-right corner of the Experience section.
Click 'Add position' to add your current job or previous work experience linked to your portfolio.

📌 Why this matters

A complete LinkedIn portfolio dramatically increases profile visibility and recruiter engagement by showcasing real work samples alongside your experience. LinkedIn is the world's largest professional network, and profiles with featured content and projects rank higher in search results and attract more connection requests. Adding a portfolio section lets job seekers, freelancers, and professionals demonstrate skills with tangible evidence rather than text alone. This feature bridges the gap between a traditional resume and a dynamic, media-rich professional presence.
