Managing collaborations and approving work

Each approved creator becomes one collaboration with its own chat, files, status and payment. They all live in Collabs.

The workflow

1. 1

   1. Creator accepts

   Terms lock. Deliverables and price are now agreed.

2. 2

   2. Draft submitted

   The creator uploads content for review before publishing.

3. 3

   3. You review

   Approve, or request a revision with specific notes. A revision sends it back to step 2.

4. 4

   4. You approve the content

   This is your sign-off that they can publish exactly this.

5. 5

   5. Creator submits the live URL

   The public link to the published post. You cannot release a cash payout without it.

6. 6

   6. You release payment

   Funds move from escrow to the creator’s balance.

7. 7

   7. Completed

   On barter, gifted and affiliate work you mark it complete here instead of releasing money.

Giving revision notes that work

• Be specific and timestamped: "swap the hook at 0:00 to 0:03, the product is not visible" not "make it punchier".
• Batch all your notes into one round. Drip-feeding notes across three rounds is how deadlines die.
• Agree a revision cap in the brief. Two rounds is standard.
• Never ask for a change that contradicts the original brief without renegotiating the fee.

Collaboration management tooling is available on the Business plan and above.
