Validating Custom Profile on the Event Website
Overview
The Custom Profile component on the event website displays structured profile information using images and multiple text fields arranged in a configurable layout. Validating this component ensures that profile content is displayed correctly, images load properly, links behave as expected, accessibility requirements are met, and the overall presentation remains consistent for participants. This article explains how participants can validate the Custom Profile component on the event website.
