Inbox
On this page
Inbox is where Pictures Up tells you what happened: approvals and change requests, comments from clients and guests, failed uploads and previews, signed releases, call sheets sent to you, and people joining. The Notifications row in the sidebar shows how many are unread.
Reading it
Notifications are grouped into Today and Earlier, newest first. Click one to open what it is about: the note in the viewer, the file, the call sheet, the release. Hover a row for “Mark read” or “Mark unread” and “Open”. On a phone, swipe a row left for the same. “Mark all read” clears the count.
The chips at the top narrow the list: Comments, Approvals or Uploads. Releases, call sheets and people joining show under All.
What arrives
| Notification | Who gets it |
|---|---|
| Someone mentioned you in a note | You |
| A cut was approved or changes were requested, in Pictures Up or from the client portal | The studio, and whoever uploaded the version |
| A client or a guest commented on a file | The studio |
| A guest uploaded files through a share link | The studio |
| Someone shared a file with you from the share dialog | You |
| A preview failed | Whoever uploaded the version |
| An upload stopped | Whoever was uploading |
| A talent release was signed | The studio |
| A call sheet was sent for a day you are on | Everyone on the sheet who signs in |
| Someone joined the studio | The studio |
Swipe the table sideways to see every column.
“The studio” means every member except crew. Crew see only notifications addressed to them, and only on their own productions.
Good to know
- Only call sheets go out by email as well. Everything else is in-app.
- A client’s or guest’s notes on one cut update a single notification for six hours rather than piling up.
- “Retry” on a failed upload opens the file so the upload can resume from there.
