4. Edit the sidebar
You'll notice that links to the pages you created in step 3 were added automatically to your sidebar. However, the pages are organized alphabetically which is not the best way to organize them.
When you are finished your sidebar will look similar to the image on the left. We added the orange rectangles to highlight different sidebar items that you will be creating. The blue words are hyperlinks. Some of the hyperlinks go to pages that within your portfolio and others go to external websites.
In this section we will show you how to create and organize sidebar items. We will also show you how to add hyperlinks to outside websites.
We will need to create four sidebar items and add links in each of the sidebar items following the organization below (This tutorial will show you how)

Group Portfolio Links
This space is for you to add links to other's portfolio links. Depending on your academy, you may or may not be placed into learning groups. If you are placed in groups, this would be a good place for you to add links to your group members' portfolios. Earlier you submitted a form with your portfolio link. That information can be found here.
When you are finished your portfolio should look similar to the example portfolio that we created.
