# Client portal

> Where clients complete intakes, upload documents, and message your firm

## Overview

Clients who register get a home at **/portal** — a single place to see their open intakes, keep their profile up to date, upload documents, and talk to your firm.

## What clients can do

* **Continue intakes** — pick up any in-progress questionnaire where they left off.
* **Edit their profile** — keep personal details current; changes flow into future forms.
* **Upload documents** — respond to rejections and add supporting files.
* **Message the firm** — a single conversation thread per client, with file attachments.
* **See their tasks** — items the firm has assigned to them.

## Translations in the portal

Machine translations your firm is still working on stay out of the portal entirely:

* **Draft translations never appear** in a client's document lists — neither do translations still in progress. A client only ever sees a translation once your firm has certified it.
* **Direct links don't leak drafts** — a client opening a draft translation's link gets a not-found response, for downloads and previews alike.
* **Clients can't delete translations** — certified ones included. Translations are managed by the firm; a client attempting to remove a certified one is told it's managed by their legal team (drafts simply don't exist as far as the portal is concerned).

## Messaging

Each client has one thread with your firm, with unread-message email nudges in both directions — see [Messaging](/guides/messaging) for details.

## Branding

The portal and intake experience carry your firm's logo and brand colors, so clients always know who they're working with. Set them up in **Settings → Firm**.
