Your portal in 5 minutes
The places in the rail, what each one does, and where to start.
The portal is where your team runs your organization on Collective. Sign in at portal.getcollective.org with the email you use on Collective.
The rail
- Home: your threads. Each piece of work lives in its own thread, so you can see what Collective did and what’s waiting on you.
- For you: what Collective suggests next, ready to review.
- People: the people around your organization, from donors to volunteers.
- Stories: your posts, and the stories we write from them.
- Profile: edit your public Profile and preview it before it goes out.
- Wiki: what Collective knows about you, with every source.
- Organization: settings, team, membership, donations, activity and connections.
On a phone the same places sit in a tab bar along the bottom, with the rest under More.
