Creating a Public Profile and Setting Its Visibility
Key points

A public profile is a page that gathers multiple badges into a single link. In the settings you can choose the visibility (Public, Anyone with the link, Private), the profile address, per-badge visibility, and your display name.

Key points A public profile is a page that gathers multiple badges into a single link. In the settings you can choose the visibility (Public, Anyone with the link, Private), the profile address, per-badge visibility, and your display name.

If you have several badges, you can show them all with a single public profile link instead of sharing them one by one. Put the link in your resume, business card, or social media bio, and recipients can see your achievements at a glance. This document explains how to create a public profile and set its visibility.

Opening the public profile settings

Press [Public profile] in the profile menu to open the public profile settings screen. (You can also get there via [Create public profile] in the checklist at the top of your wallet.)

Choosing the visibility

  1. Choose one of three options under visibility.

    ScopeWho can see it
    Public (searchable)Anyone can search and view
    Anyone with the link (default)Only people who receive the link can view
    PrivateOnly you can view

  2. Enter the address you want under profile address. It will be created in the form kolleges.net/profiles/your-address.

  3. If you like, fill in About me and press [Save].

Choosing which badges to show

Scroll down and you will find per-badge visibility. Turn the toggle on for badges you want visible on your profile, and off for badges you want hidden. Under display name, you can set the Korean and English names shown on your profile.

Confirming it worked

If the badges you selected appear when you visit your profile address, everything is working. If you set it to private, visiting the link shows the message “This profile is private”.

Troubleshooting

It says my profile address is already in use Another user is using that address. Add a number or a word to change it to a different address, then save.

I want to feature a hidden badge Hidden badges cannot be set as the featured badge (at the top). First turn on the per-badge visibility toggle to switch it to shown, then set it as featured.

Frequently asked questions

A public profile is a page that gathers the badges you have received into a single link (kolleges.net/profiles/your-address). Adding just one link to your resume or social media lets you show all of your achievements. You create it and set its visibility at [Public profile] in the profile menu.
Yes. Under 'Per-badge visibility' in the settings, you can toggle each badge to show or hide. Hidden badges do not appear on your public profile. However, hidden badges cannot be set as the featured badge (at the top), so if you want one featured, you must switch it to shown first.
The default is 'Anyone with the link'. Only people who receive the link can view the profile, and it does not appear in search. If you switch to Public, anyone can search for and view it, and if you switch to Private, only you can see it.
Yes. Enter the address you want under 'Profile address' in the settings, and it will be created in the form kolleges.net/profiles/your-address. If the address is already in use, add a number or a word to change it to a different address and save. You can change the address again at any time.
If you add a single public profile link to your resume, business card, or social media bio, recipients can see all of your badges at a glance. Instead of sharing badges one by one, you can gather your achievements behind a single link. You can also fill in 'About me' to use the profile like an introduction page.
Correct. If you set it to private, visiting the link shows the message 'This profile is private' and only you can view it. To show it only to specific people, choose 'Anyone with the link', and to let anyone view it, choose 'Public'. You can change the visibility again at any time.
