• By the looks of it I 'm only using it in a very limited way at present. It works for me like that just now so thank you. (GP, UK)

• Keep doing what your doing as it works fine (for me anyway) (GP, UK)

• Allow enhance 2 to link to bmj portfolio and earn 2 points for each completed module (GP, NZ)

• its very complicated with too many add ons and tags and fancy features (GP, UK)

• I have exported the portfolio onto the exel and put my scores I got on the modules GP, Japan
