If I have projects under NDAs, can I make them private?
At this time, we’re asking that all NDAs be handled off platform. Soon, you’ll be able to initiate private projects on Contra! 👀
How do I report a project that breaches confidentiality, is plagiarized, or is spam?
You can report a project to our Contra support team by emailing hello@contra.com. Please provide your profile URL, the project title, and the user’s profile URL that you’re reporting.
What's the difference between linked and from scratch projects?
Linked projects are links to projects that live on different parts of the internet, while from scratch projects are projects that you create from scratch — you add your own text and photos to tell a story.
What projects should I add to my profile?
Projects on Contra are designed to show off your work and the things you do best. Good projects include:
Title, role, tools used, and company
Visual assets such as videos, images, or Gifs
Written content explaining the project, your role(s), and important outcomes
