# Social Items and Profiles

Both screens appear in the Visual Portfolio menu once a social account is connected or an item exists.

## Social Items

**Visual Portfolio → Social Items.** One entry per imported post, with a preview, the title, the format (Image or Video), the network, the account and the date. Filter the list by network or account with the **Select a platform** dropdown.

What you can do:

- **Edit** an item: title, content, featured image, the **Format** (Image, Video), the **Original Post URL**, and for videos the **Video URL** (fix a broken link here). The **Original ID** is read-only. Changes are kept; the sync never overwrites an existing item.
- **Add New**: a hand-made item that behaves like an imported one. Give it a title, an image and pick the network and account terms.
- **Trash**: hides the item and excludes it from future syncs. **Restore** includes it again. **Delete Permanently** lets the next sync recreate it unless it is still excluded.
- **Bulk actions**: Exclude from Sync, Include in Sync (besides the usual trash and restore).
- **Sync All Accounts** button, with the **Recreate deleted items** checkbox. The button shows “Syncing…”, then “Processing queue…” while items are created, then reloads the list. “Sync already in progress” means another sync holds the lock; wait five minutes and retry.

## Social Profiles

**Visual Portfolio → Social Profiles.** One entry per connected account: **Avatar URL**, **Profile URL**, **Username**, **Bio**. Instagram fills them from the API; other networks fill what they provide. Edit them to correct the author line shown under gallery items. Deleting a profile deletes its cached avatar.
