# Share your Progress

When you start a new task you are assigned to, click on the StatusTodo (1) on your my task page. You can also do it on the shots or assets page.

Shot status

It opens a panel on the right of the screen, where you can communicate about your work. Let your teammates know what you are doing. For instance, show them you start working on something. Each time you change the status of a task, you can attach a text comment to it.

For example, when you start a new task, you can say that everything is ok. If some information is missing, you can either ask all the questions you want.

To change the Status, let's say from Todo to Wip as an example,select the Change status tab, type your comment. Then, click on the status box, choose the one you want.

And validate your comment and the new Status by clicking on Post button.

Changing status

You can edit your last comment by clicking on the "history" button and then using the edit button Edit button.

# Ask for a Review

You can ask for a review by switching the tab to Publish revision and change the Status of a task to (Waiting for Approval wfa).

You can drag and drop your file directly or click on the Attach preview button.
