As we introduce the option of using the Blocks editor in Glow Blogs we may find some incompatibilities with existing technologies. We will list any problems with e-Portfolios and workarounds on this page.
We are investigating several blocks that do not work when producing printed pdf profiles with e-portfolios. Several blocks do not work well. We are advising that you do not use the Blocks editor for e-portfolios at the moment if you need some of these features..

The following Gallery was created with the classic block
