Hi.
I have this error:
This field must be a valid URL and may not contain less than signs(<) or greater than signs(>)

But my link is ok:
https://www.figma.com/proto/49piHC2fanyXpy8MRdl05Q/LN-Portfolio?node-id=516%3A593&scaling=scale-down&page-id=516%3A0/geoinfo.if.ua
How to fix it, please, help.
Thank you.

Adobe Portfolio doesn't accept special characters or code in links. 

Run your Figma link through Tiny URL first.  

https://tinyurl.com/app

 

Failing that, use the embed module with an <iframe> code from Figma.

Alternatively, use Adobe XD instead.
