Hello everyone,

I hope you’re doing well.

I’d like to get some clarification on best practices for sharing external resources within the Adobe Community. Specifically, when posting a project overview, workflow explanation, or case study, what is the recommended way to reference additional details hosted on an external website (such as a personal portfolio or documentation page) while staying fully compliant with community guidelines?

My intention is purely educational — to provide helpful context, detailed breakdowns, or extended resources for those who may want to explore further — not promotional content.

I would appreciate any guidance from community members or moderators on:

Whether external links should be placed in the post, comments, or profile
Any formatting or wording that is preferred
Common mistakes to avoid that could lead to posts being flagged or removed

Thank you in advance for your time and support.
Looking forward to learning from the community.

Best regards,
Saqib

Hello Saqib,

Thanks for your question — it’s a thoughtful one.

In communities like Adobe, it’s generally best to keep your main post focused on sharing clear insights, workflows, or real examples. External links are allowed, but only when they genuinely support or add value to what you’re explaining.

A few simple guidelines:

• Make sure your content is complete and useful on its own
• Add external links only if they’re truly relevant, and place them at the end
• Use natural, neutral language — avoid anything that feels promotional
• Keep personal websites or portfolios in your profile where possible
• Don’t repeat the same link across multiple posts

If you do want to share a helpful resource, include it naturally within the context, for example: https://cipscourse.com/

As long as the link is relevant and helpful for readers, it should be perfectly fine.

Best regards,
John

Hello Saqib,

Thanks for the question — it’s a good one.

In communities like Adobe, the general approach is to keep the main post focused on sharing your explanation, workflow, or case study. External links are fine, but they should only be used when they genuinely add extra value to the discussion.

Usually:

• Keep the main content self-contained and useful on its own
• If needed, place external links at the end of the post
• Use simple, neutral wording (avoid sounding promotional)
• Profile section is the safest place for personal websites or portfolios
• Avoid repeating the same link in multiple posts

If you’re sharing a relevant resource, you can simply include it in a natural way, for example: https://cmacourse.ae

As long as it fits the context and helps the reader, it should be fine.

Best regards,
Peter
