# Adding Your Personal Portfolio

The first time you run Java Workshop, it creates a portfolio called "personal," for which you have write permission. If you remove your personal portfolio, but do not delete the portfolio (`.psf`) file from your file system, you can import it back into Java WorkShop.

Otherwise, for this tutorial, you can use any portfolio for which you have write permission. Or, you can create a new portfolio using the help in Creating a Portfolio.

The following instructions describe how to add your personal portfolio:

1. In the Java WorkShop Project Manager window, choose File -> Add -> Portfolio.
   The Add Portfolio dialog box is displayed.
2. Type `/your_installation_directory/jws/personal.psf` in the Portfolio file box.
   All portfolio file names end in the extension `.psf`.
3. Click Add.
   Java WorkShop makes your personal portfolio the current portfolio and displays its name in blue text.
