How can I remove an education from my portfolium profile?

Question

I changed majors from Mechanical Engineering to Computer Engineering, so I added a new education to my profile. When I try to save as a PDF, the Mechanical Engineering education is still showing on my PDF. How can I remove that education from my profile? Thank you!

Hi there, @JackSides ...

That's a great question!  I think the information that you received from @jcarpenter1 is from the older ePortfolio interface that Canvas has had for quite some time.  What you are asking about is the newer Portfolium interface.  I logged into my own Portfolium account, and I was able to add my new position to my profile.  Then, I tried downloading the "Full Profile" PDF file (I'm guesssing this is what you also tried) which is described in this Guide (looking under the heading "View Profile Header"):

When I downloaded the PDF file, it included the updates that I had just put in.  So, I am guessing the same should happen for you...that if you remove information from your Portfolium profile, it should also remove it from the PDF file soon thereafter.  One thought I had for you is...have you tried clearing your browser history/cache, completely shutting down your browser, and then re-logging in to Portfolium to see if that might fix the issue?  It's worth a shot, and you can find directions on how to do this at:

* How do I clear my browser cache on a PC?

If all of that does not fix the issue for you, then I would recommend that you reach out to Canvas Support.  They might have some other ideas/suggestions for you.  Hopefully you'll be able to get this resolved soon.  Please come back to report on the status once you've had a chance to discuss this further with Canvas Support.
