If you have set up a Brightspace assignment to receive locked portfolio submissions, you have the option to release the portfolios back to your students so that they can continue to edit them.

Unlocking portfolios must be done on an individual basis. Most instructors release the portfolio when they grade each portfolio submission.

To unlock a cuPortfolio submission:

  1. In your Brightspace course, in the Nav bar, click Tools and select Assignments
  2. Click on the assignment you want to release portfolios for
  3. Click on a the student’s submission
  4. Click on the name of their portfolio that they submitted (it will be a blue link)
  5. Scroll to the bottom of the portfolio and click Release collection

Note: An archive is made of all submitted portfolios. These archives are not available to instructors but they are available on a request basis. If you need access to the archives of students’ submitted portfolios, please contact the TLS support team (select cuPortfolio).
