# The portal view

> The portals list, a single portal page, and the client's-eye preview.

Select **Portals** from the product switcher in the top left. There are two firm-side screens, plus a preview of the client's.

## The portals list

Every portal your firm has published to, one row per client entity, showing its name and document count. Click a row to open it.

The list is a live picture of what your firm has actually shared: **only portals with at least one published document appear.** An entity you've never published to isn't listed, and a portal whose documents were all unpublished drops back off.

Once your firm has more than ten portals, a **Filter by client entity** box appears above the list, with a count of how many match.

If the list is empty you get a **No portals yet** panel pointing back to Documents.

## A portal page

One page, one client entity. Spend a minute here before you invite anyone.

Three things stack down the page:

1. **The invite field**, directly under the client entity's name. The one step everything else depends on — see [Invite a client](/portals/invite-clients).
2. **Published documents**, each with any note the client sees. The **✕** unpublishes; the download button fetches the file.
3. **Document requests**, what you're waiting on. Each row reads **Open**, **Submitted**, **Received**, or **Sent back**. See [Document requests](/portals/requests).

**← All portals** returns to the list.

## See what the client sees

Top right of any portal page. Opens the client's exact view — no test login needed.

You're still signed in as staff." style={{ borderRadius: "0.5rem" }} width="1866" height="1004" data-path="images/portals/client-preview.png" />

A banner across the top reminds you: *Preview — this is what your client sees. You're still signed in as staff.* Everything renders exactly as they'd see it, including your notes and the upload area, but the upload affordances are inert — staff must not upload on a client's behalf.

Use it to check a note reads the way you meant before the client reads it. **← Back to portal** returns.

<Note>
  The preview shows one client entity. A client invited to several entities sees
  all of them together on one page with filter chips — the preview can't
  reproduce that. See [What the client sees](/portals/client-experience).
</Note>

## Everything you can do here

| Action | Where |
| - | - |
| Invite someone by email | Portal page, top card |
| Preview a published document | Click its filename |
| Download a published document | The download button on its row |
| Unpublish a document | The **✕** on its row |
| Ask for a document | **New request** |
| Apply a saved checklist | **Templates** |
| Review a submission | The `⋯` menu on a request row |
| Check the client's view | **See what the client sees** |

There's no upload, rename, or attribute editing inside a portal. Everything that changes a document happens in [Documents](/documents/getting-started); the portal only controls whether the client can see it.
