View and Update Your Trailhead Profile
Learning Objectives
After completing this unit, you’ll be able to:
- Locate your Trailhead profile page.
- Understand the information you can update.
- Update your profile.
Navigate Your Profile Page
Your Trailblazer profile contains information from different Salesforce-related sites, so you have an at-a-glance view of your skills and activity. Your profile serves as your digital Salesforce resume, showing colleagues and employers what you know—that’s why it’s important to keep it up to date.
But before you make any edits to your profile, get familiar with what’s shared on your profile page. The page is broken up into sections that contain specific information about you and your Salesforce skills.
Profile: This section includes your profile pic, showcases your rank using the rank avatar creator, and offers direct links to your social accounts. It also includes a custom URL link. And if you’re actively looking for a job, you might want to activate Career Mode. (More on this below.)
Certifications: This section showcases any certifications you earned. You can also see at a glance when a cert is next due for maintenance, if your cert is active, or if it’s been retired. And you can add additional certs from Slack, MuleSoft, Tableau, or other accreditations.
Superbadges: This section showcases any superbadges you’ve earned and the dates you completed them
Skills: Here, find a skills graph that visually breaks down the skills you developed while earning Trailhead badges.
Badges: This section shows the Trailhead badges you earned (in chronological order). Use the filter on the upper right corner to view all your badges, or choose superbadges, modules, projects, event/community, or peer assessment badges. Hover over the badge itself and see an additional dropdown menu showing the date you earned that badge and the amount of points you were awarded.
Stamps: When you attend a certain event, in-person or on Salesforce+, you get a Trailblazer stamp in this section.
Details: This section provides key info about you including your pronouns, company, company website, role, country, state, company size, and your relationship to Salesforce.
And There’s More
Head back to the top of your profile and find other useful information on the right side of the page.
Rank and Badges: See your current Trailhead rank, along with number of badges earned, number of points earned, and number of trails completed. You also see how many more points you need to earn to reach the next rank.
Community Tags: Proudly display your communities and personas here on your profile page to add some personal flair.
Questions & Answers: This section highlights your question interaction on the Trailblazer Community. It shows how many questions you answered, how many earned a best answer, and how many questions you asked.
Connections: This section also relates to the Trailblazer Community, showing how many followers you have, how many people you’re following, and how many groups you’re following.
Files: This section includes links to any files you uploaded on the Trailblazer Community.
Profile Settings
The profile page comes with some security settings. Simply click the profile icon in the upper right corner and select Settings, or follow the link at the top of the page when you’re editing your profile page.
Privacy: Manage how others see your profile. Public profiles show all content that lives on your Trailblazer account profile. Private means that others will not be able to search or view the content that lives on your profile home.
Career Mode: Here, you can add a video introduction, work history, projects, and more in a view of your Trailblazer Profile only visible to employers in the Trailblazer Career Marketplace. Click Set Up in Settings to set up Career Mode, or click the pencil icon in the Career Mode header on your profile page. Then you can edit your Basic Information and Preferences. See the Career Mode Setup in the Trailblazer Career Marketplace for more details.
Connected Accounts: This is where you can connect your social accounts to display on your profile
Update Your Profile
Once you log into Trailhead, click your profile icon in the upper right corner of the screen. A dropdown appears, where you can select Profile.
To make edits to the page click the pencil icon in the upper right corner of the About Me section.
Here you can create a personalized profile URL, and update all of this information:
- Name (First and Last)
- Title
- Role
- Pronouns
- Relationship to Salesforce
- Short Bio
- Country/Region
- State
- Company Name
- Company Size
- Company Website
- Facebook
- LinkedIn
- X (formerly Twitter)
- Your own website link
To add your certifications to your Trailblazer profile, follow the steps below.
- Log in to Trailhead.
- Select your profile avatar and from the dropdown select Settings.
- In Settings, select Connected Accounts.
- Under the Email Accounts section, add the email address associated with your Salesforce, Accredited Professional, Tableau, Slack, or MuleSoft certification accounts.
- Once your email is confirmed, your active ecosystem certifications are automatically displayed.
If you have any issues with this process, log a case with Salesforce Help.
Don’t forget that your Trailhead profile is not a one-and-done resource—but rather a updatable resource that should be reviewed and maintained. Check and update your profile every 6 to 12 months, and make sure your personal resume on Trailhead is up to date.
