# Adding References

References add serious credibility to your product manager portfolio by showcasing what others say about working with you. Think of them as built-in testimonials & social proof that you're as great to work with as your case studies suggest. 🤝

## Adding a reference

For each reference (up to 6), provide:

* **Name**: The person's full name
* **Title**: Their professional title
* **Relationship**: How you worked together (Manager, Colleague, Client, Mentor, Direct Report, Other)
* **Quote**: What they said about you (up to 1,500 characters)

## Featuring a reference

Click the star icon to **feature** a reference. Featured references are highlighted more prominently on your public portfolio.

## Tips

* Always ask for permission before adding someone as a reference
* Quotes that mention specific product outcomes or PM skills are most impactful
* A mix of relationship types (manager + colleague + client) shows breadth
* You can drag to reorder references

## Customizing the section title

On your published portfolio, this section is titled **"References"** by default. You can rename it inline by hovering over the title while viewing your live portfolio to edit.
