You can create as many Panel Portals as you require. However, only one portal can be publicly active at a time on each panel. You would normally build your portals inside the panels so that you have full control of how the portals will look.
Publishing a Panel Portal
Several Portals can be published for a panel at one time. The name of the default portal is presented in bold text. The default portal is the portal that will be used if no other is specified - .

When a portal is published, the Panel Portal URL becomes available from the Project Management page > Overview tab and any changes you make to the Portal become public. The date and time a portal was last published are displayed in the published column.
To publish a portal:
- In the Panel Portal toolbox, right-click on the portal name to open the drop-down menu.
- Choose Publish from the menu.
If you wish to remove a portal from public view then you can "Unpublish" it. Once the portal has been published then the Unpublish option becomes available in the right-click menu. If a portal has been specified for as particular set of panelists, and that portal is later unpublished, the those panelists will be presented with the default portal.
Testing a Panel Portal
While working with the portals, you may need to test how different portals function together with your panel. Forsta recommends that you have all relevant portals added to the panel. You can then try the different alternatives in Preview.
If you wish to make changes to a portal to for example try a different look or setup, you would probably save considerable time by duplicating an existing portal instead of creating a new one and starting from the beginning.
