Your guide, Kreto

I’m Kreto. I’ll help you follow the creative route.

Illustrated preview. These guides show the intended experience; some features may not yet be available. They do not connect to your account.

Before you start

Follow a Job from application to delivery, then choose whether to request public credit.

Use your own account. Representing a company is a separate workspace and role.
Have a Job to apply to or a proposal addressed to you. Access to a project does not mean you have accepted its terms.
Before delivery, check that you can open the shared Studio and identify the agreed terms and assigned client reviewer.

Start with step 1 Calls and recording If you get stuck

STEP 01 / 07

Understand your Creative Passport

Where: Your personal workspace and Creative Passport.

Who: You, as the person whose work is described.

Check your details and the source shown for each work claim. Information you added yourself, information from a public source and independent confirmation mean different things.

What to look for

Each claim explains where it came from or who confirmed it. Profile completeness measures filled-in fields; it is not a talent score or proof that work is verified.

Illustrated example

Source and confirmation are separate.

Self-declared

Added by Maya Chen. No independent confirmation yet.

If this result is missing

If a claim is inaccurate, use the correction option for that claim. An imported statement or unanswered confirmation request is not independent confirmation.

Previous Next step

STEP 02 / 07

Read the Job and prepare your application

Where: The Job and its application form.

Who: You, applying for the work.

Read the scope and terms. Prepare an application relevant to that Job and review what you are about to send.

What to look for

A confirmed application names the Job you applied to. Applying does not accept a proposal or create a Studio.

Kreto’s tip

Before sending, check that your application is for the intended Job.

If this result is missing

If you are interrupted by sign-in or setup, return to the intended form and review any saved input before sending. If you are unsure whether it was sent, check the application first.

Previous Next step

STEP 03 / 07

Review the latest proposal

Where: The proposal for the named company and work.

Who: You, as the creative the proposal is addressed to.

Read who is proposing the work, your role, deliverables, dates and time zone, fee and its basis, usage rights and payment terms. Choose Request changes or Accept terms for the version shown.

What to look for

Confirmed acceptance identifies your decision and the version you reviewed. Moving your application through hiring stages cannot accept terms for you.

Illustrated example · fictional people and project. The controls in this image are examples, not account actions.

If this result is missing

If the terms change, read the latest version. If acceptance is confirmed but the Studio is still being prepared, check its status instead of accepting again.

Previous Next step

STEP 04 / 07

Open your shared Studio

Where: The Studio for the agreed work.

Who: You, with access to this project.

Check the project, accepted proposal and assigned client reviewer. Read the agreed scope alongside the working brief, noting any proposed changes.

What to look for

You and the company work in the same shared project. Notes and brief updates do not silently change the terms you accepted.

If this result is missing

If the agreement is unclear, open the linked proposal. If access or the workspace changes, return to the original project rather than moving its draft into another one.

Previous Next step

STEP 05 / 07

Submit a version for review

Where: Delivery review in your Studio.

Who: You submit the work. The assigned client reviewer makes the review decision.

Check the selected files, version, agreed scope and assigned reviewer before choosing Submit for review.

What to look for

Confirmed submission identifies the files and version sent. Approval or a request for changes applies to that submission. Replacing the content needs a new review.

History entries appear only when actually stored and allowed to be read.

Illustrated example · fictional people and project. The controls in this image are examples, not account actions.

Kreto’s tip

A new version needs a new review, even if an earlier version was approved.

If this result is missing

If no reviewer is assigned, keep the files as a draft and ask the owner to assign one. If the submission result is unclear, check its status before resubmitting.

Previous Next step

STEP 06 / 07

Confirm completion with the client reviewer

Where: The private work-completion review.

Who: You as lead creative, together with the assigned client reviewer.

Review the agreed scope, required deliveries and recorded review decisions. Confirm work complete or request changes for the same completion summary.

What to look for

Completion needs both required people to confirm and required delivery to be resolved. Payment, independent contribution confirmation and publication remain separate.

If this result is missing

If a confirmation is missing or you disagree, completion stays pending or open. Check the record if a result is unclear. Someone marking a payment as paid does not prove that the payment provider has settled it.

Previous Next step

STEP 07 / 07

Choose what to share on your Passport

Where: Your private contribution record and publication preview.

Who: You choose whether to request publication. An eligible independent person confirms the contribution; an authorised company representative permits its company details.

Read the contribution statement and its confirmation status. If you want it published, review and request permission for the exact text-only preview. The company separately reviews the company details included.

What to look for

The record stays private until the required permissions are in place. Private files, fees, contacts and notes are excluded from the public preview.

Kreto’s tip

You choose whether to request public credit. Completion does not publish it automatically.

If this result is missing

Material changes to the preview need renewed permission. After withdrawing permission, check that the affected public information is removed; copies made elsewhere cannot be guaranteed deleted. Rehire starts with fresh terms.

Previous Guide recap

If you get stuck

The proposal changed while you were reading

Open the latest proposal and review its scope, dates, fee, usage rights and payment terms again. An earlier pending decision cannot accept changed terms. Rehire also requires a fresh agreement.

You are unsure whether an action finished

Keep your input with its original Job or project. Check the application, proposal, submission or publication status before repeating an action. A missing notification does not prove that the action failed.

A contribution needs correcting or taking offline

Use the correction process for the specific claim, or withdraw your publication permission. Disputing a claim does not rewrite someone else’s decision. An independent confirmer withdrawing their confirmation and you withdrawing publication permission have different effects; check the result shown.
