The complete contribution lifecycle

Contribution requests let you manage every step from request to approval. This tour covers: <ul> <li><strong>Status tracking</strong></li> <li><strong>Detail review</strong></li> <li><strong>Approve/reject decisions</strong></li> <li><strong>Revision cycle</strong></li> </ul>

Contributions Tab

Click this tab to open the contributions list. Every contribution request across your roster appears here, showing: <ul> <li>Artist name</li> <li>Linked bundle</li> <li>Slot progress</li> <li>Current status</li> </ul> This lets you triage at a glance.

3

Filter by Artist

Open this dropdown to narrow the list to a single artist. Select any artist name to see only their submissions. Helpful when you have many requests and need to focus on one collaborator at a time.

4

Status Badges

Each request displays a <strong>color-coded badge</strong> that updates automatically as artists interact with their requests. The badges below show the full progression from start to finish.

5

Slot Progress

The <strong>addressed/total count</strong> beneath each request shows how many content slots have been filled. This tells you at a glance whether an artist has completed all required deliverables or still has work outstanding.

6

Detail Sheet

Clicking a request opens the <strong>detail sheet</strong>. Here you see: <ul> <li>Original message</li> <li>Shared assets</li> <li>Every document slot and its status</li> <li>Previous revision notes</li> </ul> Everything you need to make an informed decision.

7

Approve Submissions

When a request is in the <strong>submitted</strong> state, the <strong>approve button</strong> becomes available. Approving shares the contributed documents with your organization and closes the request successfully.

8

Request Revisions

Not quite right? Use the <strong>revision button</strong> to send detailed feedback back to the artist. You can: <ul> <li>Flag specific slots that need changes</li> <li>Add new slots if something is missing</li> </ul>

9

Pending Invitations

Click this tab to switch to <strong>pending invitations</strong>. Here you can manage artist invitations that haven't been accepted yet: <ul> <li>See when each expires</li> <li>Resend if needed</li> <li>Cancel invitations that are no longer relevant</li> </ul>
