Table of contents will be added

Add assets to a portal in [assets sections](/acquia-dam/what-are-sections "What are sections?"). Add an asset gallery in Standard and Video Portals or [add a dynamic gallery](/acquia-dam/how-do-i-create-brand-portals "How do I create Brand Portals?") in Brand Portals. You can also choose to add a featured collection or collection cards. (Learn more about adding collections in [this article](/acquia-dam/how-do-i-add-collections-portal "How do I add collections to a portal?").)  
  
There's no limit to the number of assets that can be added to a portal; however, when there are a large number of assets in a portal, performance and load time of the portal may be slower.
