How to use the Collaboration Portal

Guidance for managing your collaboration space

The Collaboration Portal has two distinct areas:

  • Webpages throughout the site are here to support health and wellness professionals in their work to improve the health of the people of Washington state.
  • The My Portal area provides a password protected work space for public health professionals and partners to come together and collaborate in “Teams” to work on shared goals and interests.

This How To page is intended for content creators and team managers. Below are instructions for how to use the space.
