Most of this release is about vendors. If you do work for someone on this platform, the screen where you accept it, read it and submit it now tells you where you are in the job, what you have to do next, and — when you win a posting on the work board — where that job went. Alongside that: the person hiring a vendor is finally shown the ones who actually do the work they need, rather than the whole directory ranked by popularity.
Your deliverable page now shows the whole job
- Where you are, and when you got there. A stage bar runs Assigned → In progress → Submitted → Closed, with the date each step happened. A change request doesn't rewind it — it flags the stage you're on, because the work is back with you, not lost.
- What to do next, in a sentence. "Submit your work for review", "Waiting on the advertiser to review your submission" — the same strip creators have had.
- The page itself matches the creator's. Same layout, same cards, same buttons. It is the same job from the other side and now it looks like it.
A posting you won no longer reads "Closed"
Winning a job on the work board hands it over: you become the assigned vendor and the work moves to your Deliverables. The board posting closes because it is finished — but My work had no idea, filed it under "Closed", and left the job listed twice with the live copy claiming to be over.
- Won postings now leave My work entirely. The job is in Deliverables, where you can actually act on it.
- My bids keeps the record, marked Won, and every won bid now has a View the work button that opens the deliverable.
Bringing in a vendor shows the ones who do that work
Creators can subcontract part of a deliverable. The picker used to open on every vendor on the platform, sorted by rating — a service filter existed but was quietly switched off, so a search for a video editor and a search for a copywriter returned the same list in the same order.
- You pick the service first , and the list is vendors who offer it.
- Each one says why it's there — "Matches Copywriting", "92% on-time", "3 prior jobs with you".
- No exact match doesn't mean an empty screen. It falls back to related work and says so, so a short list is never mistaken for a perfect one.
Vendors: say what you do, and who you do it for
- Services now come from one list. The profile offered its own set of labels that didn't match what buyers search on, so a vendor could tick "Video Production" and never appear for video production. Existing profiles have been moved across; nothing was dropped.
- A new "Industries you work in" — fashion, fintech, food and the rest. Optional, and it only ever ranks you higher for brands in those industries. It never hides you from anyone.
Finding a plan in the Ad Planner
The Ad Planner had a search box and a status dropdown. Past a couple of dozen plans, that is scrolling, not searching.
- Filters for period (running now, upcoming, ended), allocation (nothing allocated, has headroom, fully allocated, over-allocated), whether it has campaigns yet, whether an audience is set, and a budget range.
- Sorting by name, budget, how much is allocated, or period start.
- Agencies can also filter by client.
Reminders that lead somewhere, and payments that tell both sides
Fixes from the past week that are worth naming:
- A deadline reminder now opens the work it is about. Vendors were being sent to a page that could only fail — sixteen reminders to one vendor, every one a dead end. Creators were getting two reminders for one job under two different names; now it is one.
- Both sides are told when a payment goes through , from the one place that confirms it — so a payment recovered by the reconciliation sweep tells people too, instead of arriving silently.
- A disputed booking really is frozen , and only the person who raised a dispute can withdraw it.
