Can't find my portfolio (public profile)

[JihanF]

Hello everyone! I'm a new adobe stock contributor. I uploaded 2 footage and it's already approved by adobe. I'm just confused because when i click "my porfolio" or public profile, it seems that my portfolio is not appear in the search engine (I attached a screenshot for the details). Is anyone knows why and how to fix this problem?

Indonesia is one of the restricted countries that ask for additional vetting of the assets before they become publicly available in that country. Change the country code "id" with "ca" for Canada and you will see, what the major regions are seeing.

Could you give more information how to change the country code? Thanks before.

Post an URL, and I will do it for you.

I believe that Malaysia is one if the countries in which accepted images require more vetting before they are displayed for licensing within the country. However, they are still available for licensing in other countries. Contributors in Malaysia are not prohibited from submitting to Adobe Stock..

Malaysia is a restricted country. That means people can't buy some assets from the database because they need additional vetting. Nevertheless, contributors from restricted countries are permitted to contribute, and they will have the same potential customers as all other contributors.

Yes! That's precisely what I need: https://stock.adobe.com/ca/contributor/207463995/erin

If you check my URL, you see that I exchanged ID with CA for Canada. It's a simple text replacement with the URL. It gives you an idea about what people from unrestricted countries see when they look at your portfolio. 

I do the inverse, if I want to see what people from restricted countries see when they look at my portfolio. Pictures that are not shown there are not open for sales in a restricted region.

As a fact, it is not disadvantageous for someone to contribute from a country that only shows a subset of the database (i.e. restricted country), as their assets are still shown in other countries. It's the same for people contributing from unrestricted regions. It's only an issue if you are contributing highly localized content, content that is only interesting to your region.

Wow, that's a very detailed explanation. Thank you for the information and also for your time to reply to my questions and help me.

one more question, if i want to share my portfolio in other social media platform, do I have to use the URL with the country code changed?

Omit the country code.

If potential customers reside in a restricted region, they can't license non-vetted assets even if they want to.
