Submissions are the individual pieces in your portfolio. You can create new ones, edit existing ones (where allowed), and control visibility and ordering.

​
Adding a submission

  1. Open Portfolio → Edit portfolio (from your profile or dashboard).
  2. Choose Add new item to create a fresh piece, or add existing work that is not on your portfolio yet.
  3. Upload a photo or add text, set category and optional tags, and choose share visibility (public, profile-only, or private).
  4. Save. The piece appears on your portfolio when it is marked as a portfolio item and visibility allows it.

​
Work in Progress submissions

Sometimes you want to share your creative journey before the final piece is done. Work in Progress (WIP) submissions let you do exactly that.

​
When to use WIP

  • You’re still working on a piece and want to document your process
  • You have progressions (steps along the way) but no final image or text yet
  • You want viewers to know this is an evolving piece, not a finished work

​
Creating a WIP submission

When adding a portfolio item, enable the Work in Progress toggle. This allows you to submit without a main image or text — your progressions become the primary content.
WIP is different from a completed text-only work. A poem or essay with no image is a finished piece. WIP means “I’m not done yet” — the image or text is still coming.

​
How WIP submissions appear

WIP submissions have special visual indicators throughout the app:
  • Dashed border — The tile has a dotted outline instead of a solid one
  • WIP badge — An amber “WIP” badge appears on the tile
  • Progression thumbnail — If you have progressions with images, the latest one shows as the thumbnail (slightly faded)
On the submission detail page, a WIP banner appears below the title, and the Journey tab is shown by default so viewers can see your progress.

​
Progressions

Progressions document your process on a submission—sketches, drafts, and iterations. See Progressions for how to add and reorder steps, what each step can contain, and how to export a journey GIF.

​
Reference images

You can attach one optional reference image (inspiration or source material) when editing a submission. It is shown separately from your main artwork. See Reference images for details.

​
Editing a submission

If the app allows edits:
  • Open the submission from your portfolio and use Edit.
  • Change the image, text, category, tags, or visibility as needed and save.
  • For photographed work, use Cleanup image on the image preview to open the submission cleanup & image editor—crop, rotate, alignment grid, optional auto-fix for shadows and color cast, then save the updated image.
If you don’t see Edit, that submission may be locked or you may not have permission.

​
Removing a submission

Use Delete or Remove on the submission from your portfolio editor. Confirm the action; removal is typically permanent. The piece will no longer appear in your portfolio (and will leave any collections or exhibits that referenced it, depending on app rules).

​
Submissions and your profile

Your public portfolio pieces can appear in the community exhibit and feed when visibility is public and the item is on your portfolio. Your profile’s featured piece can be set to one of these. See Setup your space and Organizing your portfolio.
