# Your profile

> The member page, with its own link (/_/members/{id}) - the preview that opens when you click a name, the About, Background, Experience, Certificates, Badges, Activity and Credits sections, the Organization area (leader, direct reports and groups), editing the cover, company, country, languages, links and experience, privacy per section (Public, Members or Private) within the community's limit, Share and the optional public page.

Every member has a **page** in the community, with its own link: `/_/members/{id}`. It shows who the person is (cover, job title, company, country, languages, links, experience and the signup fields the community lets it show) and what they did there. Each part of the page has a visibility level, chosen by the person within the limit the community sets, and the API only hands each viewer what they may see.

The page belongs **to one community**, like the rest of the profile (see [Account and profile](/conceitos/conta-e-perfil)): the cover, company and experience you add in one community don't show in the others.

## What it's for

| Who | What for |
|---|---|
| Members | Knowing who someone is before sending a message, inviting them or booking a conversation; sharing a link to their own profile |
| The person | Introducing themselves: what they do, where they work, which languages they speak, where to find them |
| Admins | Seeing any member's full profile and deciding what the community lets pages show, including outside it |

## The preview and the page

Clicking someone's name or avatar (in a post, a comment, a list) opens the **preview**, a short window that follows the page's compact header: without a cover, a thin line in the community's colors and the photo beside the name, with no colored block; with a cover, a short strip, with the photo over its edge. It has the avatar with the "online" dot, name with the country flag, role, "{job title} at {company}", the bio in up to 3 lines, up to 5 badges (the *+N* takes you to the page's **Badges** section) and three numbers: **Member since**, **Points** and **Level**. Below, **Send message** (or **Add**, when the community requires a connection before chatting) and, for the owner and admin, **Adjust points**.

In the top-right corner of the cover there are two round buttons: **expand** (*"Open profile page"*) and **close**. Expand and the **View full profile** button at the bottom of the preview take you to the page and close the preview. **Esc** also closes it.

The preview has no tabs: everything else is only on the page.

![The preview: cover with the expand and close buttons, name with the flag, job title at the company, numbers and View full profile](/screens/membros-perfil-previa.png "The preview opens when you click a name or avatar.")

A link opened directly (`/_/members/{id}`) shows the page to anyone signed in to the community. The old achievements link (`/_/members/{id}/achievements`, the one in the badge e-mail) opens the page at the first of the **Certificates** and **Badges** sections; links with `?tab=` also scroll to the section.

## The page

### The header

The header is compact. **Without a cover** (most people), a thin line in the community's colors at the top and the photo beside the name, with no empty banner; **with a cover**, a short strip from the center of the image, with the photo over its edge. It has the avatar with "online", name with the country flag, role, "{job title} at {company}" and up to 6 badges; the *+N* takes you to the **Certificates** and **Badges** sections. A discreet second line brings together whatever exists: the job title, **Member since** *date*, **Lead:** *name* (linking to their page) and the main group. On your own page, with no job title or bio, a prompt (*"Add a line about yourself"*) takes you to **My Account › Profile**. On a phone, the buttons share the screen width side by side.

The buttons:

- **Edit profile**, on your own page;
- **Send message** (or **Add**), on someone else's page;
- **Share**, which copies the page link (*"Link copied"*);
- the **…** menu, with **Adjust points** (owner and admin, with engagement on), **Remove connection** (when you are connected) and **Give badge** (for whoever can give badges, on someone else's page).

### The sections

The page has no tabs. The sections are stacked as cards: **About**, **Background**, **Experience**, **Certificates (N)** and **Badges (N)**, separate, with the one that has items first, **Activity** (the latest 5 and **See all activity**, which loads the rest in place) and **Credits**, when you may see it. An empty section only shows on your own page (an empty **Badges** becomes a single hint line, with **Give badge** for whoever can give badges). **In the community** sits on the right on a computer, following the scroll, and right below the header on a phone, with the numbers, **Leads** and the groups (see below); **Member since** and the leader sit on the header line, without repeating. A certificate opens in a viewer on the page itself (see [Certificates on the page](#certificates-on-the-page)). Old links (`/achievements` and `?tab=`) scroll to the section.

| Section | What it has | Who sees it |
|---|---|---|
| **About**, **Background**, **Experience** | Described below | According to each section's privacy |
| **Certificates** and **Badges** | The issued certificates and the badges, each with its count. See [The profile shows engagement](/membros/engajamento#the-profile-shows-engagement) | Everyone (certificates per the person's choice) |
| **Activity** | The person's posts and comments, newest first | According to the Activity privacy |
| **Credits** | The [credits](/monetizacao/creditos) balance and statement | Only the person and the team |

### What each section has

- **About**: the **Bio** (up to 200 characters, with **Show more** past 4 lines) and the links (LinkedIn, Website, Instagram, GitHub, X and YouTube).
- **Background**: **Country**, **Languages** and the [custom fields](/membros/campos-customizados#on-the-member-page) the community lets the page show, as chips, with **Show N more** when there are many.
- **Experience**: positions with company and period (*"Feb 2023 – current"*); the 3 most recent and **See all (N)**.
- **In the community**: **Member since**, **Points**, **Level**, **Posts**, **Comments**, **Events** and **Courses completed**. The profile's points and level are the person's total in the community, adding up every section: the same number as the overall ranking.
- **What is left this week**, in **In the community**, when the person's level (or the next one) asks for activity in the week: **"To stay at Kernel this week"**, with each requirement and the progress (**Create post** *2 of 3*; with a space, **Comment on post in Introduce yourself** *0 of 2*) and the note *"Counts Monday to Sunday; whoever does not meet it moves down on Monday."*, and **"To move up to Root"**, with the points still missing. A requirement that is met gets the done mark. It also shows in the preview. Only the person and the team (owner, admin, moderator and finance) see it; another member does not see anyone's activity. A requirement tied to a space the viewer cannot access shows *"in a space you cannot access"* in place of the name; whoever opens the space sees the name. See [Levels](/membros/gamificacao#levels).

- **Organization**, inside **In the community**: **Leads** *N people* and the **Groups** (the **Leader**, linking to their page, sits on the header line; with only groups, the **Organization** title disappears), following the [org chart](/membros/grupos-e-organograma). The person and the team see all of their groups; other members only the groups they're in too. The leader and the number of direct reports show to anyone signed in to the community, never on the public page or the limited profile. With none of this, the area doesn't appear.

On your own page, whatever only you and the team see carries the note *"Only you and the team see this"*. With nothing filled in, your page says *"Your page is still empty. In Edit profile you can add your company, country, languages, links and experience."*

**Activity counts only what the viewer can open.** The posts and comments in **Activity** and the numbers in **In the community** come only from spaces the viewer has access to: a post in a paid space doesn't appear, not even in the count, to someone who isn't subscribed. With Activity set to **Private**, the numbers of posts, comments, events and courses also disappear for anyone outside the team.

On a phone, the page is a single column, with **In the community** right below the header.

### Networking

Whoever opens the page from **Explore** in a [Networking](/espacos/networking) space sees that space's **Networking** section: the labels (**Available now**, **Top rated**, **Featured**, **New**), **Offers**, **Looking for**, **Specialties**, **Languages**, **Session types**, **Sessions completed**, **Minutes of conversation** and the reviews, as the space allows. Beside it, in the spotlight:

- **Available sessions**: the week, with the days that have times (*"6 times"*), the times of the chosen day and **Book session**. On your own page: *"Your times show here for whoever visits your profile."*
- **Unavailable now**, when the person is paused or has no free time (*"{name} has no free times right now."*), with **Explore other people**.

Whoever has access to the space books directly in **Available sessions**, without joining the program. Without access to the space, the block says *"You don't have access to this Networking space, so you can't book a session here."*

**Back to Explore** takes you back to the showcase. Between participants in the same program, the page opens without the limited mode and **Send message** shows without a connection request (see [When a connection is needed](#when-a-connection-is-needed)). What shows on the Explore card follows this page's privacy: a country set to **Private** shows no flag and doesn't filter.

### Certificates on the page

Clicking a certificate on the member page opens a full-screen **viewer** without leaving the page: the image or PDF, the name, the issue date and the code, with **Download PDF**, **Download image**, **Copy verification link**, **Add to LinkedIn** (only for the certificate's owner) and **View verification page**. The open certificate stays in the address (`?certificate=…`): the link can be shared, and **Back** closes the viewer and returns the page to the same spot. A certificate you aren't allowed to see doesn't open. The [Certificates](/espacos/certificados) space uses the same address.

**Where each badge came from.** The badge's origin (the course, the event or the workflow) is a link when you can open that space; the workflow link shows only to the owner and the admin. The date sits on a line of its own.

## Edit profile

On your page, **Edit profile** takes you to [My Account](/conceitos/conta-e-perfil#what-the-person-changes-themselves), where each part is a section (**My Account** also has **View my profile**, to go back to the page):

| Section | What it has |
|---|---|
| **Profile** | Photo, **Full Name**, **Job title**, **Bio** (up to 200 characters), phone and the signup fields the community asks for |
| **Page** | **Cover** (3:1, 1800 × 600 px; JPG, PNG or WebP; **Upload cover**, **Change cover**, **Remove cover**), **Company**, **Country**, **Languages** (**Add a language**), **Links** and **Experience** (**Job title**, company, **Start**, **End** or **I currently work here**; **Add experience**) |
| **Privacy** | Who sees each part of the page (below) |

**The cover**: still recommended at 1800 × 600 px, but the page shows only a short strip from its center (the preview, an even shorter one). Keep what matters in the middle of the image. Without a cover, *"the header stays compact, with just your photo."*

**Save**, on the bottom bar, stores what changed in the sections at once. A link must be a full address (*"Use a full address starting with https://"*), and in an experience the end comes after the start (*"The end comes after the start"*).

![Edit profile, Page tab: cover, company, country, languages, links and experience](/screens/membros-perfil-editar-pagina.png "The Page tab of Edit profile.")

## Privacy

In **My Account › Privacy**: *"Choose who sees each part of your page. The community team always sees everything."*

| Level | Who sees it |
|---|---|
| **Public** | Anyone, even signed out (only when the community turns on public pages) |
| **Members** | People in the community (the default for everything) |
| **Private** | Only you and the team (owner, admin, moderator and finance) |

| Section | What it includes | Levels |
|---|---|---|
| **Header** | Name, photo, cover, job title and company. In Public, the page exists for people who aren't signed in | Public or Members |
| **About** | Bio and links | Public or Members |
| **Country and languages** | The flag next to your name and the languages in Background | Public, Members or Private |
| **Experience** | The positions you listed | Public, Members or Private |
| **Activity** | Posts, comments, points, level and the numbers in In the community | Public, Members or Private |
| **Signup fields** | One by one, the fields the community shows on the profile | Members or Private (never Public) |

People in the community always see your name. A field the community set to **Always on the profile** shows as *"Always visible (the community's choice)"* and can't be hidden.

**The community's limit.** Options more open than the community allows don't appear. Without public pages, the screen says: *"This community has no public member pages: the most open level is Members."* If the community lowers a limit, anyone who chose something more open gets the limit; the choice is kept and comes back if the limit is raised.

![Edit profile, Privacy tab: Public, Members or Private per section and per signup field](/screens/membros-perfil-privacidade.png "The Privacy tab.")

### Step by step: making your page public

1. The community must have [public pages turned on](#for-the-team-member-pages).
2. On your page, **Edit profile** and, in **My Account**, the **Privacy** section.
3. **Header** to **Public** and, if you like, the other sections to **Public**.
4. **Save**. To send the link: **Share**.

## The public page

With public pages on in the community and the **Header** set to **Public**, the link `/_/members/{id}` also opens for people who aren't signed in. It shows only the sections set to **Public**: no "online", no **Credits**, no message or connection buttons, and never signup fields, e-mail, phone or groups. The public Activity lists only posts from spaces a signed-out visitor can open; points, level and badges appear only with Activity set to **Public**.

The public page **is not indexed by search engines** (`noindex`) and doesn't appear in any list without signing in. Setting the Header back to **Members** takes the page down at once.

For someone signed out, when the page doesn't exist or isn't public, the same card always appears: **Sign in to see this profile** (*"This profile is visible only to people in the community."*), with **Sign in**. The card doesn't reveal whether the person exists.

## When a connection is needed

In a community where messages require a connection first (**Add first**, see [Messages](/membros/mensagens)), anyone not connected to the person sees the limited profile: the gradient instead of the cover, avatar, name, job title, bio and role, without flag or company, and *"Connect to see the profile."*. Whatever the person set to **Public** also shows there.

The exception is [Networking](/espacos/networking#chat-between-participants): two people active (or paused) in the same program see each other's full page and chat without a connection request.

## For the team: member pages

*Role: owner or admin.*

In **Settings › Search and discovery**, the **Member pages** card (*"What each member page may show. Each person chooses within these limits."*):

- **Public member pages**, off by default: when on, people who set their Header to Public get a page that opens without signing in.
- **The most open level allowed**, per section (**Header**, **About**, **Country and languages**, **Experience**, **Activity** and **Signup fields**): **Public**, **Members** or **Private (only the person and the team)**. E.g. *Experience* at **Members** removes the Public option for everyone.

**Save Changes** stores it. Moderators and members can't change this.

![Settings, Search and discovery: the Member pages card, with the switch and the limit of each section](/screens/membros-perfil-configuracoes.png "The Member pages card.")

Custom fields have their own option, **On the member page**. See [Custom fields](/membros/campos-customizados#on-the-member-page).

## Examples

**Association with a members showcase.** The admin turns on **Public member pages** and limits *Experience* to **Members**. Ana sets Header and About to **Public** and posts the link on LinkedIn: whoever clicks sees her name, job title, company, bio and links without signing in; only the association's members see her experience.

**Closed community.** Public pages stay off. Members see each other through the page, with the signup fields the community shows; João sets *City* to **Private** and only the team sees it.

## Common errors and how to fix them

| What shows | What to do |
|---|---|
| *"Use a full address starting with https://"* | Write the whole link, with `https://` |
| *"The end comes after the start"* | Fix the experience dates |
| The **Public** option doesn't appear | The community hasn't turned on public pages or limited that section |
| A signed-out visitor sees **Sign in to see this profile** | The Header isn't Public, or the community has no public pages |
| The **Activity** tab (or section) doesn't appear | The person set Activity to a level you don't see, or there's nothing you can open |

## Frequently asked questions

**Does the page show up on Google?**
No. Not even the public page: it carries `noindex`.

**Do other members see my e-mail or phone?**
No. E-mail, phone, groups and tags stay with you and the team.

**Where do I change my bio?**
In **My Account › Profile** (or **Edit profile**, on your page), in the **Bio** field. It's the same as before, up to 200 characters.

**Is my page the same in every community?**
No. Each community has its own.

## Through the assistant

`get_member` returns the page fields already filtered for whoever asks (also the leader, the number of direct reports and the groups); `update_my_profile` edits your page (cover by link or file, company, country, languages, links, experience and privacy), and the bio stays in `update_me`; `list_member_page_activity` lists the Activity. For the team, `update_community_settings` turns public pages on and changes the limits. See [Tools · Members](/mcp/ferramentas-membros#update-my-profile) and the recipe [Make my page public](/mcp/receitas#101-make-my-page-public).

## In the API

`GET /api/members/{id}` brings `coverUrl`, `company`, `country`, `languages`, `links`, `experiences`, `profileFields`, `communityStats` and `sections`, and, for the person and the team, `sectionLevels` and `privacy`. It also brings the optional `leader` (`id`, `name`, `avatarUrl`), `directReportsCount` and `groups` (`id`, `name`; primary group first), only with a session and absent when there is nothing to show; the person and the team get every group, other members only the ones they share, and none of it goes to the public page or the limited profile. `PUT /api/members/me/profile` stores the page (experience goes as the whole list; `coverUrl: null` removes the cover) and `POST`/`DELETE /api/upload/cover/member` uploads or removes the cover. `GET /api/members/{id}/activity` lists the Activity, with a cursor; a hidden section returns `data: []` and `pagination.hidden: true`. Without signing in, `GET /api/public/members/{id}` and `/activity`, which answer the same `404` in every case where the public page doesn't exist. The settings are `publicMemberPages` and `memberPageCeilings` in `PATCH /api/communities/{id}/settings`. See [Members](/api/referencia/members) in the API Reference. In the profile's and public page's `engagement`, `levelName` and `levelImageUrl` bring the level the community named and, only for the person and the team, `levelProgress` brings the week's progress.
