Manage Your Content Projects Easier With Our Updated Account Menu

I’m pleased to announce that earlier today we updated our account menu to improve itsclarity and make it easier for you to monitor communication with your writing team and get updates on your projects. When you login you’ll notice that the menu is now a series of icons, instead of text links. The image above identifies the different menuitems. Here are the the different items listed from left to right: 1. Messages This update brings your messages to the forefront of your account by placing the messages in your account’s main menu. Clicking on this icon will reveal up to 50 of your most recent messages from writers on your team. If there are new messages you haven’t yet read, a red flag will appear so you know to review your messages. Clicking on an individual message will load your message thread with the writer who sent it. If you click the See More link at the bottom of the Messages menu, you’ll be taken to the main Messages page where you can also review your sent messages. 2. Notifications Next to the Messages button is the Notifications button. Clicking this will show you the most recent notifications for your content projects. You can click on any of these notifications to be taken to the page on the site that the notification deals with. For example, if you click on a notification that a writer has claimed your request, you can click on the request name to see the request, or the writer’s name to see their bio. If you click the See More button at the bottom of the Notifications menu you’ll be taken to the main Notifications page for your account. Here you can see a complete history of your notifications, as well as update your notifications by clicking the gear icon in the top right of the page. These are the types of notifications you can chose to receive (or not): Request Approved Request Expiring Request is Claimed Request is Unclaimed New Article for Request Project Events New Articles in Categories I Watch Document Revision Updates By selecting the types of notifications you want to receive, you can be sure that you receive updates that are most important to you. 3. Credits The credits icon shows your current credit balance on the site that you can use to purchase content. Clicking the Credit icon will take you to the Add Credits page when you need to buy more credits. 4. Cart The cart icon, unsurprisingly, takes you to your cart and shows any content you’ve added to it. It will also load a cart that you previously saved if you haven’t yet purchased it (click Save Cart on the cart page to save it as an unpaid order). You can also access your Wishlist from the Cart menu. Just click the My Wishlist option and you’ll see all articles you’ve wishlisted that are still available for purchase. The tools icon houses most of the pages that you’ll use on the site. You’ll find the following pages under this menu: My Projects Content Publisher My Requests My Favorite Writers My Sent Offers My Orders Download My Content My Revisions 6. My Account The My Account menu is now locatedunder the space where your email address is listed (Hi, EHOPPE@ in the image above). Here you’ll find the following pages: Dashboard Edit My Account Chat Partner Programs Contact Log Out I hope you’ll find the updated menu helpful in managing your content projects.
