# How to create Draft Portfolio project in Squarespace

Feb 6

Written By Beyondspace

Squarespace's Portfolio page is useful for showcasing creative work, but it lacks a built-in draft mode, which can be frustrating when you want to hide unfinished projects from public view while still working on them

Maintenant que Squarespace prend en charge nativement les brouillons de portfolio, notre fonctionnalité "Draftify Portfolio" est officiellement arrêtée. Nous recommandons à tous les utilisateurs de passer à la fonctionnalité intégrée de Squarespace.

## Solutions to Set Portfolio projects as Drafts

You can activate Draftify Portfolio using Ground Control to enable draft mode for your projects

Check the video for step-by-step intructions

- **Install Ground Control**: Install the Contrôle au sol  plugin to activate the Draftify Portfolio feature
- **Create and Manage Portfolio Items**:

  - Create a new Portfolio project as usual
  - Click the three-dot menu icon next to your project in the Portfolio manager
  - Use the new options:

    - **Définir comme brouillon** : Hides the Portfolio project from public view
    - **Définir comme publié** : Makes the project live and visible

Set Portfolio project to draft

### Projets de portfolio : Brouillon vs Publié

| Feature | Mode brouillon | Mode publié |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Visibility | Portfolio items are hidden from visitors. | Projects are fully visible on your site. |
| Appearance | Draft items won’t appear in Portfolio collection pages, including Grid or Hover layouts. | Accessible through their URLs and appear in all Portfolio collection displays. |
| Pagination | Draft items will be hidden from Portfolio page’s pagination; next published projects will be displayed instead. |  |
| URL Access | URLs for draft items will return a 404 page if accessed. |  |

### Redirecting 404 Pages for Drafted Items

To maintain a seamless user experience, redirect the URLs of drafted projects to your main Portfolio page. Here’s how:

1. Accédez à **Paramètres > Outils pour développeurs > Mappages d'URL**  in Squarespace
2. Add the following line, replacing `votre-portfolio`  with your Portfolio’s actual slug

```
/your-portfolio/project-slug -> /your-portfolio 302
```

This ensures visitors attempting to access a drafted project are redirected to the main Portfolio page instead of encountering a 404 error, especially useful when you’re editing an indexed project

### How to Add a Portfolio Page

1. Ouvrez le **Pages** panel, then click + next to the navigation section where you want to add the page
2. In the menu, click Portfolio and choose a layout. You can change this later
3. Enter a page title and press `Enter`
4. Click **Modifier** , then click the pencil icon to style the section
5. Click + to add a project or click an existing project, then click Edit to add your own content
6. Add and edit more projects until your portfolio page is complete

It's not possible to add blocks to the portfolio section of a portfolio page, but you can add block sections above or below the portfolio section

### Limitations of Portfolio Pages in Squarespace

- You can only have 60 subpages per portfolio page
- You can not move Portfolio projects between Portfolio pages
- You will need special code to hide portfolio items in "draft" mode since there is built-in option
