+Your contribution graph and Achievements show activity from public repositories. You can choose to show activity from both public and private repositories, with specific details of your activity in private repositories anonymized. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-profile/managing-contribution-settings-on-your-profile/showing-your-private-contributions-and-achievements-on-your-profile).

+## Popular repositories
+
+This section displays your repositories with the most watchers. Once you [pin repositories to your profile](/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-profile/customizing-your-profile/pinning-items-to-your-profile), this section will change to "Pinned."
+
+## Pinned
+
+This section displays up to six public repositories or gists. Important details are listed for each of the items you've chosen to feature. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-profile/customizing-your-profile/pinning-items-to-your-profile).

+
+The organizations featured in the activity overview are prioritized according to how active you are in the organization. If you @mention an organization in your profile bio, and you’re an organization member, then that organization is prioritized first in the activity overview. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax#mentioning-people-and-teams) or [AUTOTITLE](/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-profile/customizing-your-profile/personalizing-your-profile).
+
+## Contribution activity
+
+The contribution activity section includes a detailed timeline of your work, including commits you've made or co-authored, pull requests you've proposed, and issues you've opened.
+
+Important moments, like the date you joined an organization, proposed your first pull request, or opened a high-profile issue, are highlighted in your contribution activity.
+
+If you can't see certain events in your timeline, check to make sure you still have access to the organization or repository where the event happened.

+## Prerequisites
+
+Before you view contributions on your profile, you should understand what counts as a contribution, and what other information your profile displays. See [AUTOTITLE](/account-and-profile/concepts/contributions-visible-on-your-profile).
+
+## Viewing contributions in a specific time range
+
+{% data reusables.profile.navigating-to-profile %}
+1. To see a visual representation of your contributions, scroll down to the section labeled "NUMBER contributions in the last year".
+
+    {% data reusables.profile.contribution-graph-commits %}
+
+1. To view contributions made on a specific day, click the square corresponding to that day.
+1. To view contributions made over a specific time span, click the square corresponding to the start of the time span, press <kbd>Shift</kbd>, then click the square corresponding to the end of the time span.
+
+    > [!NOTE]
+    > You can select up to a one-month range on your contributions calendar. If you select a larger time span, we will only display one month of contributions.
+
+## Viewing a timeline of your contributions
+
+{% data reusables.profile.navigating-to-profile %}
+1. To see a timeline of your contributions, starting with your most recent work, scroll down to the "Contribution activity" section of the page.
+1. Optionally, to explore older contributions:
+    * At the bottom of the timeline, click **Show more activity**.
+    * On the right side of the page, click the year you want to see contributions from.
+
+## Next steps

+
+If you use {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} and your enterprise owner enables {% data variables.enterprise.prodname_unified_contributions %}, you can send enterprise contribution counts to your {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %} profile.

 If you are part of an organization that uses SAML single sign-on (SSO), you won’t be able to see contribution activity from the organization on your profile if you do not have an active SSO session. People viewing your profile from outside your organization will see anonymized contribution activity of your contribution activity for your organization.
 
-## Contributions that are counted
+## What counts as a contribution
 
-### Issues, pull requests and discussions
+On your profile page, the following actions **always** count as contributions:
+
+* Creating a new repository
+* Forking an existing repository
+
+The following actions **sometimes** count as contributions:
+* Opening an issue
+* Proposing a pull request
+* Submitting a pull request review
+* Opening a discussion
+* Answering a discussion
+* Making a commit
+
+For more information, see [Contribution criteria for issues, pull requests and discussions](#contribution-criteria-for-issues-pull-requests-and-discussions) and [Contribution criteria for commits](#contribution-criteria-for-commits).
+
+### Contribution criteria for issues, pull requests and discussions
 
 Issues, pull requests, and discussions will appear on your contribution graph if they were opened in a standalone repository, not a fork.
 
-{% data variables.product.company_short %} limits the number of these items when displaying the contribution graph. If you've reached the limit, the contribution graph may not display all of your contributions.
+Additionally, {% data variables.product.company_short %} limits the number of these items when displaying the contribution graph. If you've reached the limit, the contribution graph may not display all of your contributions.
 
-### Commits
+### Contribution criteria for commits
 
 Commits will appear on your contributions graph if they meet **all** of the following conditions:
-* The email address used for the commits is associated with your account on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}.
+* The email address used to make {% ifversion ghes %}or co-author {% endif %} the commits is associated with your account on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}.
 * The commits were made in a standalone repository, not a fork.
-* The commits were made:
-  * In the repository's default branch
-  * In the `gh-pages` branch (for repositories with project sites)
-
-For more information on project sites, see [AUTOTITLE](/pages/getting-started-with-github-pages/what-is-github-pages#types-of-github-pages-sites).
+* The commits were made in one of two branches:
+  * The repository's default branch
+  * The `gh-pages` branch (for repositories with project sites). For more information on project sites, see [AUTOTITLE](/pages/getting-started-with-github-pages/what-is-github-pages#types-of-github-pages-sites)
 
 In addition, **at least one** of the following must be true:
 * You are a collaborator on the repository or are a member of the organization that owns the repository.
 * You have forked the repository.
 * You have opened a pull request or issue in the repository.
 
+## How contribution event times are calculated
+
+Timestamps are calculated differently for commits and pull requests:
+* **Commits** use the time zone information in the commit timestamp. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-profile/managing-contribution-settings-on-your-profile/troubleshooting-commits-on-your-timeline).
+* **Pull requests** and **issues** opened on {% data variables.product.github %} use your browser's time zone. Those opened via the API use the timestamp or time zone [specified in the API call](https://developer.github.com/changes/2014-03-04-timezone-handling-changes).
