Collaborations

Collaborations is where signed work lives. Everything on this screen has a contract behind it, which means the deliverables, the price and the licence are already fixed, and most of what remains is doing the work and handing it over.

The four tabs

Active. Work that is agreed, funded, being made, or in review. The header counts it and sums what is in delivery, per currency.

Completed. Finished jobs, kept for reference and for the usage-rights record.

Contracts. Everything with a signed agreement behind it, whatever state it is in now.

Usage rights. Every completed job whose licence has an end date, with the date it ends. Perpetual licences do not appear here because there is nothing to watch.

Each row shows the brand, the job, the value as what you receive, the due date, a status, and a five-step progress line: Agreed · Funded · In production · In review · Paid.

Inside a collaboration

One page, top to bottom: the status and a plain sentence saying whose move it is, the payment card, the progress line with dates, the deliverables, and the activity feed. The sidebar holds the agreement summary, the usage rights and, when the time comes, the closing actions.

The payment card

Two numbers live here, and they are different on purpose.

Held in escrow is the full amount the brand paid, which includes the platform fee the brand pays on top of your price.

You receive is your money: your price, plus sales tax if you charge it. This is the number that reaches your account, and it is the same number the row on the list shows as the job's value.

While the payment is held, the card also says how it gets released: when the brand approves, or automatically 14 days after you request completion.

Deliverables

You hand work over piece by piece. Each submission has three fields:

• What is this. A short label, required, so the brand knows what changed. "UGC video 3, second cut" beats "final2".
• Link, optional. Drive, Dropbox, Frame.io, a published post.
• File, optional, up to 1 GB.

Submitting a deliverable does not move the contract anywhere. You decide when everything is in and request completion; until then you can keep adding pieces, including while the brand is already reviewing.

The brand reviews each piece: approve, or send it back with feedback, and feedback is required when they do. A piece that comes back is not edited in place; you submit the corrected version as a new deliverable. The card counts how many of your submissions are approved.

If the job came from a proposal, the card also shows what you agreed to deliver, straight from the offer, so both sides are counting against the same list.

The activity feed

One shared record per collaboration: your messages, the brand's messages, and the system's own entries for everything that happened, payment held, work submitted, completion requested. It is shared with the brand and it is the record a support review reads, which is the reason to keep the conversation here rather than in DMs.

Usage rights

The licence sits in the sidebar with its end date and what it covers. It is yours to edit, as a number of months or perpetual, up to the moment you request completion. From then on it is locked, because the brand is being asked to approve and pay against fixed terms.

After a job completes, a licence with an end date can be extended for a fee. You offer it from the usage rights card on the completed collaboration: say how many months, and a proposal opens with the line, the months and an expiry date already filled in. You set the price and send it, and the brand accepts and pays it like any other offer. The extra months run from the current expiry, not from the day it is paid. Only one live extension offer per contract, and a draft counts as live. A perpetual licence has nothing to extend.

Ending a collaboration

Request completion when every piece is in. The brand then has 14 days to approve or send work back, and if they do neither the contract completes on its own and the payment releases to you. The confirmation dialog says exactly this before you commit.

Report an issue if something is actually wrong: fraud, harassment, an attempt to take the deal off the platform. It pauses the automatic release while our team looks, and it is not the tool for taste disagreements.

Cancel sits quietly under the same card, in red, and asks you why. If you cancel, you forfeit the payment and the brand is refunded in full, whatever state the work was in.

The signed agreement itself downloads as a PDF from the sidebar, so the document a lawyer or an accountant asks for is one click, not a screenshot.
