At CGHERO, we understand that freelancers and studios need flexibility when managing their online presence. That's why we offer different visibility options for your profile, giving you control over how and when you're seen by potential clients. Here's a detailed look at how profile visibility works:
1. Hidden Profile
When your profile is set to "Hidden," your presence on the platform is more restricted, but you’re still accessible under certain conditions. Here’s what happens:
Profile Not Visible in Search:
Your profile will not appear in the Hero Search or Portfolio Search, meaning clients or users browsing the platform won’t be able to find your profile through search results.
Direct URL Sharing:
Even if your profile is hidden, you can still share your profile URL with others. If someone has your profile link, they can access and view your profile directly.
Project or Task Visibility:
If you are an active member of a project or task, your profile will be visible to other collaborators on that specific project or task. They will be able to view your profile within the context of the shared project.
2. Visible Profile
When your profile is set to "Visible," it will be fully available to potential clients and collaborators on the platform. Here’s what that means:
Appear in Search:
Your profile will show up in Hero Search and Portfolio Search results. Clients can easily find your profile when searching for specific skills or expertise.
Invite Opportunities:
With a visible profile, clients can invite you to collaborate on projects directly from the platform, increasing your chances of being approached for work.
Changing Your Profile Visibility
You can switch between "Hidden" and "Visible" modes at any time from your profile settings. This allows you to manage your availability based on your current workload or preferences.
