Who can add them
Progressions are managed when editing an existing submission (after it has been saved at least once). Open the piece from your portfolio, choose Edit, and scroll to the Progressions section.What each step can include
Each progression can include:- Image — A photo or export for that stage.
- Text — Rich text for the creative content at that step (for example, a draft passage or poem version).
- Comment — A short note about what changed or what you were trying (“Blocked in values before color,” “Second pass on the sky”).
Order and reorder
Steps appear in the order you set. Use the editor’s reorder controls so the timeline reads chronologically from first idea to where you are now.How viewers see them
On the submission page, progressions show as a strip of thumbnails under the main work. Choosing a step opens the lightbox so people can view images full size and read text or comments for that stage. For Work in Progress pieces, the latest progression image can appear as the tile thumbnail (with a WIP treatment) when there is no main image yet. See Working with your submissions.Download as GIF
If a submission has at least two progression images, you can download an animated GIF from the download menu on the submission. The animation plays the steps in order and ends on your final piece—handy for sharing a quick process recap.Related
