Getting Started with Resolut
A step-by-step guide to setting up your organization, inviting collaborators, and uploading your first assets on the Resolut platform.
Welcome to Resolut
Resolut helps rights holders find and resolve ownership conflicts in their catalog — and get withheld revenue moving again. This guide walks through the first things you'll do in the product, in the order you'll do them.
Resolut is currently in closed beta. Access is free for approved customers.
Get access
Sign up with your work email, or use the invitation link your organization sent you. New accounts go through a short onboarding: tell us about yourself and your work, and accept the beta notice.
Organizations are created by the Resolut team during onboarding so we can set your workspace up properly. If you don't have an invitation yet, use the Contact Sales step to email us or book a 15-minute call. If you've been invited to an existing organization, accept the invitation and you'll land in that workspace directly.
Secure your account
Resolut supports passkeys and TOTP-based two-factor authentication. You'll be prompted to set one up early on; you can manage both later under Settings → Security.
Connect your YouTube CMS
Resolut's catalog data comes from your YouTube CMS. Open your profile menu, choose Organization Settings, then the Connections tab, and connect YouTube CMS (and YouTube Analytics if you want channel and revenue data alongside it).
Access is read-only. Resolut imports your assets, ownership by territory, and any ownership conflicts, and keeps them current. Resolut never writes to your CMS — you apply outcomes there yourself once a dispute is settled.
Read your first Conflict Report
Once the import has run, open Assets → Conflicts. Each report lists contested assets with the claimants, territories, and the shares in dispute. Filter, sort, and group to work through them, and export any view to CSV.
Resolve a conflict in a Bundle
A bundle is the shared workspace for one dispute. Create a bundle from a conflict, add the assets involved, and invite the counter-party with an invite link or by email — they don't need to be a Resolut customer.
Inside the bundle you get threaded comments with @-mentions, reactions, file attachments, read receipts, and an activity timeline. Assign an owner so it's clear who's driving. When you reach an outcome, apply it in your CMS.
Keep documents where the dispute is
Documents is your organization's file library: folders, tags, previews, starred and recent views. Upload agreements, split sheets, and correspondence there, then attach them to the relevant bundle so the paper trail lives with the conversation.
Bring artists in
Invite the artists on your roster to Resolut for Artists, a separate portal where they see their catalog and answer contribution requests. When you need chain-of-title evidence for a contested asset, send a contribution request; the artist responds in their portal and the answer lands on the asset.
Next steps
- Invite your team from Organization Settings → Members, and use the Permissions tab to control what each role can do.
- Install the Gmail extension to look up assets and bundles from your inbox.
- Set up notifications so bundle activity and new conflicts reach you where you work.
