What is the difference between the profile image and the cover photo and where do they show up?
The Profile Image is the small image which shows up on your Directory Listing and in search results – see the image below. You can decide whether to display a photo (generally better for individual members) or a logo (generally better for Registered Practices). If you don’t upload a profile picture, or (in the case of an individual member) if you choose not to display it, then a default icon will appear instead.
The Cover Photo appears in your Directory Listing as the header image. It’s an opportunity to display photos or graphics which showcase your work or your services. If you don’t upload a new cover photo, then the default Cover Photo image will show instead.
The image below shows the Profile Image and Cover Photo for a sample Directory Listing.

- Images should be at least 500px x 500px and can be a maximum of 8MB.
