VTX field guide

A useful first bio.
One block at a time.

Give visitors a short introduction and a few clear next steps. You can add more after the essentials work.

Gather the essentials

Prepare a name or short introduction, an image you have permission to use, and the destinations you want to share. Start with the most useful link rather than every link you own.

01 / Begin

Create the page address

  1. Open Bio pages. Choose Biolink page to open the Create biolink page dialog.
  2. Enter a Short URL alias if your plan supports it, or leave it empty for a generated address. Choose an available domain if a domain selector is shown.
  3. Select Create biolink page. Customization options are available after creation.

From the general Links list, the same option is under Create link → Biolink page.

02 / Shape

Choose an appearance you can read

  1. Open the page’s Settings tab.
  2. Use Select preset themes and Theme, or explore Customizations for appearance controls available to you.
  3. Choose a background, text and button treatment with clear contrast. Check how longer labels wrap.
  4. Select Update to save the settings.

Theme selection, branding and some customization options depend on your account. A disabled option is not a reason to change unrelated settings.

03 / Add

Make the first link work

  1. Open Blocks and select Add block.
  2. Choose Link.
  3. Fill in Destination URL and Name. Use a name that tells someone what they will find, such as “See my portfolio” or “Read the latest guide”.
  4. Select Create block.
  5. Add other available blocks, such as Heading, Paragraph or Image, only when they help the visitor understand the page.

One clear first action is enough to start.

Keep the most relevant link near the top. A shorter page with working destinations is more useful than a long page of unfinished sections.

04 / Share

Check the public page, not only the preview

  1. Keep the page’s enabled switch on. Save settings and individual block edits with their displayed actions.
  2. Open the public address shown beneath the page heading. There is no separate Publish step in this workflow.
  3. On a phone, read the introduction and open every link. Confirm that your destinations are accessible to the people who will visit.
  4. Use the copy control next to the page address and add that URL to your profile, email or other channel.
An edit is missing from the public page.

Check whether you saved the page settings or the individual block you changed. Use its Update action, then reopen or refresh the public page. Saving one area does not necessarily save an unfinished edit elsewhere.

A block cannot be added.

Review the block availability and usage limits in your account plan. Start with the blocks included in your account.

Can I change the page address after sharing?

You may be able to edit its alias or domain, but the old shared address may stop working. Prefer updating the page’s content while preserving its public address.
