Ask Do freelance platforms allow you to put links to your external portfolio in your profile?

[Edward22]

This is something many new freelancers wonder about when setting up their profile for the first time. Some platforms allow portfolio links openly, while others have strict rules about linking to anything outside their system. The concern from the platform side is usually about keeping business within their walls, so they tend to be careful about what external links they permit. What has your experience been with adding outside portfolio links to your profile?
