Portals Examples and Use Cases

by Molly Hamm, April 30, 2020

The Portals app in the Widen Collective® allows users to easily present and share curated sets of assets with specific audiences. 

They can be used to share all kinds of content...brand guidelines, media kits, training content, HR resources, sales materials, product information, you name it! Our customers even rely on portals to distribute content that changes quickly, such as COVID-19 resources.
