1. Go to Portfolio in your Dashboard

2. Enter the title, description, extra content and Featured image

Name your portfolio as you wish. In the description box, you can write and upload images. In the case of using the Theme Salient, you might notice this description it will show on the right side of the page. The extra content will be just in the center of the page and bigger than the other text box. The Featured image it will be the background of each of the items you have in your portfolio. Yo can show it but by clicking in any portfolio you can hide it. This is explained in the number 6.
