Sections
How the sections you build behave for the people visiting your Portal.
A visitor meets your Portal as a sequence of sections — the same ones you added in the builder, in the order you placed them.
Most simply present what you wrote: a hero, some text, a set of category cards. A few do something when a visitor touches them, and those are the ones worth understanding before you build with them, because they change how much content a page can carry without becoming a scroll.
Sections that do something
Browse, search, filter, sort, preview, download, share.

Categories
Follow a card to wherever you pointed it.
Everything else — Hero, Header, Banner, Text, Stats, Steps, Incentives, Info panel, Do's and don'ts, Typography, Icons and logos, Contact, Pricing, Directory, Blog, Release notes — is read rather than operated, though several of them link onward.
Lists that visitors can filter
Many sections are built on a list, and a list connected to a dataset can carry a filter bar of its own — pills, a dropdown or a searchable list, above the rows. You decide whether to offer it, and which fields it filters on.
That applies to Release notes, Blog, Directory, Agenda, Contact, Downloads, Pricing, Reviews and more. See Connect to dataset.
A grouped list also arrives under headings, and its rows can appear in the page outline so a long one is navigable from the sidebar.
What a visitor never sees
Hidden sections. A section you hid in the builder stays in your draft and out of the Portal.
Draft dataset rows. An item set to Draft is invisible to visitors even where the section's criteria would include it.
Section names. What you call a section in the Sections panel is for you.
In this section
Gallery — how visitors browse, preview and take away your assets.
