Before you start
To access the Showcase and Portfolio features, you need to have the Admin or Manager role. If you don't have that role, ask an Admin on your company's account for permission; here's what they'll need.
Showcases can only be managed on the web.
Please Note
Showcased Projects are the Projects that will be displayed on your Portfolio Site, Website Gallery, and Website Map.
If you embed the Website Gallery on your website and also have a Portfolio Site set up, each Showcase you publish will appear on both.

A. You can see all of your Showcases you have active or inactive, by going to the Portfolio tab on the left sidebar. Here is where you can manage those Showcases, too.
Q. Are Showcases impacted or indexed by SEO?
A. Our Showcases don't directly affect SEO, there are many factors at play on each individual website. A recommendation from Google for ensuring JS-injected content can be indexed: To make sure that Google can still see your content after it’s rendered, use the Mobile-Friendly Test or the URL Inspection Tool and look at the rendered HTML.
