Spatial Portfolios

Access to the Spatial Portfolio editor depends on your subscription plan:

If your plan is Starter or Professional, the editor doesn't open at all. This is checked on KalHope's servers every time, not just hidden by the page you see — upgrading is the only way in, there's no setting or link that unlocks it early.

Once you have access, setup starts by picking one of six templates:

Each template shows a slightly different set of sections:

You can switch templates at any time from the setup screen, and it takes effect immediately — it doesn't go through the draft/publish flow described in the next chapter. Your content is never deleted by a switch.

Almost every question about the Spatial Portfolio traces back to one concept, so it's worth reading this chapter closely even if you skim the rest.

Every Spatial Portfolio holds two separate copies of its content:

• Draft — your private working copy. Only you can see it, and it's what the editor shows you.
• Live — the public copy, at kalhope.com/spatial/<username>. This is what everyone else sees.

Editing never touches the live copy directly. Every field you fill in is saved to the draft the moment you move on to the next one — there's no separate "save" step, but there is a separate, deliberate publish step before anything you type becomes public. It works a little like a website builder that keeps a staging version separate from what's actually deployed: you can rework the draft freely, and the public link only changes the moment you choose to push it live.

The status chip inside the editor's dashboard panel always tells you which of three states your portfolio is currently in:

• Draft Not published yet — nothing is public at your /spatial/ URL.
• Published Published, and the draft matches what's live — nothing waiting to push out.
• Published — unpublished changes Published, but you've made edits since the last publish that visitors don't see yet.

Open your editor from /spatial/setup (or the "Open editor" link once you have a portfolio) and you land directly on your draft, ready to edit. Every piece of real content — your name, headline, bio, project write-ups, skills, and so on — is click-to-edit right on the page.

A floating Dashboard button sits in the corner of the screen the whole time you're editing. Opening it gives you:

• Your current status chip (see previous chapter).
• "Jump to section" shortcuts that scroll you straight to Profile, Skills, Projects, and the rest of your template's sections.
• A "Decorative details" switch — small template furniture like icon slots and spec labels stay plain until you turn this on, so the page isn't covered in editable outlines for things you rarely touch.
• A Publish & Share button at the top. It opens one window for everything to do with going live and sharing: what's still needed, the publish button, and your public link (see Sharing your portfolio).
• The Preview, View live, publish, discard, and unpublish buttons covered in the next few chapters. Publish and unpublish are also available inside Publish & Share.

Everything you type is written to your draft automatically as you go — there's nothing to lose by closing the tab mid-edit. What you won't lose track of is what's actually public: that's controlled entirely by the actions in the Dashboard panel, not by editing itself.

Before your Spatial Portfolio can go live for the first time, three fields need real text in them — not just spaces:

• Name
• Headline
• Bio

This exists so nobody accidentally puts a portfolio live with a blank hero section. If anything is missing, the Dashboard panel shows exactly which fields to add, and the Publish portfolio button stays disabled until they're filled in.

Once all three are filled in, clicking Publish portfolio makes your current draft the live version. Your public URL goes from a 404 to a working page immediately.

Prefer a guided version? Open the Dashboard and click Publish & Share. For a draft it shows a checklist of Name, Headline and Bio (ticked as you fill them in) and a single Publish portfolio button. As soon as you publish, the same window switches to your public link and sharing options.

After your first publish, editing behaves differently: nothing you change reaches the public page automatically. Every edit lands on your draft, and the status chip switches to Published — unpublished changes the moment your draft and your live copy no longer match.

When you're ready to make your edits public, open the Dashboard panel and click Publish changes. This pushes your current draft out to become the new live version — the same three-field rule from the previous chapter still applies, so if Name, Headline, or Bio has since gone blank, publishing changes is blocked the same way a first publish would be.

You can also publish your edits from Publish & Share. While you have unpublished edits, that window reminds you that visitors still see your last published version, and the link you share shows that version too, not your draft.

If you've made edits you don't want after all, Discard changes resets your draft back to exactly what's currently live — as if the unpublished edits never happened.

This option only appears once your portfolio has already been published and you have unpublished changes sitting in the draft — there's nothing to discard back to before that first publish. Because it deletes real work, it asks you to confirm before doing anything.

Unpublish takes your portfolio offline: your public URL starts returning a 404 to visitors, immediately. It is purely a visibility switch — it does not clear your draft, and it does not clear your live content either. Both stay exactly as they were.

You can unpublish from the Dashboard panel or from the bottom of the Publish & Share window, always behind a confirmation. Once offline, the public link stops working and the sharing options are replaced by a note to publish first.

Publishing again at any point brings it back, using whatever is currently in your draft at that moment — so if you kept editing while unpublished, republishing carries those changes out with it, same as a normal first publish.

Open the Dashboard and click Publish & Share. After your portfolio is published, the window shows a Share your portfolio section with:

• Your public link, with a Copy button — paste it into a CV, an email signature, or a bio.
• Open live page, which opens your public page in a new tab so you can see what visitors see.
• Share…, on phones and browsers that support it, which opens your device's own share menu.
• One-tap shortcuts for WhatsApp, Telegram, LinkedIn, Facebook, X, and Email, each pre-filled with your link.
• Your view count — total views and unique visitors. Your own visits are never counted.

A draft has no public link yet: until you publish, the Share section just asks you to publish first. And if you unpublish, links you already sent stop working until you publish again.

The Dashboard panel offers two different read-only views, and it's easy to mix them up:

• Preview shows your current draft, with all editing controls hidden — this is what your portfolio would look like if you published right now, unpublished edits included.
• View live opens your live copy — exactly what a logged-out visitor sees at your public URL today. It only appears once you've published at least once.

In one sentence: Preview is your unpublished work, View live is what's actually public right now. The two can look different whenever you have unpublished edits sitting in your draft — see Draft vs. Live if that's confusing.

If your plan drops below Enterprise — by choice or otherwise — while you have a Spatial Portfolio, two things happen at once:

• Anyone who visits your public URL keeps seeing your last published version, exactly as before.
• You, the owner, see your own portfolio in a locked, read-only view with a banner across the top.

Nothing about your content changes while this banner is showing — no draft, no live copy, nothing is deleted. The moment you're back on Enterprise or Lifetime, editing reopens exactly where you left it.
