# Projects on your profile

> Two different things are called projects - ones you write about, and code projects you publish. What each does on your page.

Two separate things reach the projects section of your profile, and mixing them up is the usual
confusion.

|                              | Where it comes from                                                 |
| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **A profile project**        | Written here: title, description, links, media. Work done anywhere. |
| **A published code project** | A real project from the code workspace, made public.                |

## Profile projects

An entry you write, for work that has no code to show or lives somewhere else - a design, a paper, a
product you shipped at a job, an open-source contribution.

Each takes a description, links, and media you upload. Media is worth adding where the work is
visual; a screenshot does more than a paragraph for anything with an interface.

## Published code projects

A project from [the code workspace](https://www.revquix.com/docs/projects/what-is-a-project) set to
public appears on your profile automatically, with its files browsable.

> **Warning** - Publishing a code project shares every file in it
>
> Not just the interesting one. Notes, data files, half-finished experiments and anything pasted in
> while debugging all become visible. Check the tree before publishing - see [sharing a project](https://www.revquix.com/docs/projects/sharing-a-project).

## Turning the section off

The projects section has its own toggle. Off, none of it renders - useful when you have code projects
that are public for a link but that you do not want leading your profile.

[Ordering your profile](https://www.revquix.com/docs/account/ordering-your-profile) covers the
toggles and where the section sits.

## Which to use

Use a **profile project** when the point is the outcome, and a **code project** when the point is the
code. A recruiter reads the first; an engineer evaluating you reads the second.
