My project is complete but now I don't know how to publish or release it. I can't find any publishing settings and this is my first completed project..I'm so confused ! I'm pretty sure I've tied up all the loose ends, credits etc but now I'm stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you ?

Hi CrazyT. Congrats on publishing your project!

If you go to the Portfolio page on your profile, you should find the project there. Go to the project (the i button), and you will see a button on the left side called "Publishing Settings". Everything should be in there. It's a little bit fun the first time you do it, but its easy after that. 

You can check out the tutorial page after that, at https://www.procollabs.com/tutorials/publishing_settings

Hope that helps.

Wow, think I'm having a " fun " overload haha, I go onto my projects page, click on the project I'd like to publish...but I can't see an ' I ' button, or anything regarding publishing the track. I'm using procollabs on my phone, I was wondering if that's the problem? I'm so sorry for being so dumb, if I could see anything in relation to publishing a track believe me I'd be clicking it ! Help !!!!

Haha. No, it's one of those things where you have to be in the know :)

On your profile page, you don't want your "projects", you want your "Portfolio". And the i button is like an icon that means "information". But yeah, you are looking to get to the song from your Portfolio page. 

You're trying to get to the "Collaboration Datasheet" page, basically. Then you will see the publishing options.

Hope that helps?

So I clicked on portfolio and a heading comes up saying " portfolio of published works " and then underneath that it just says " nothing published as yet " or something like that, then under that...my bio, my skills, etc, but nothing about publishing or collaboration datasheet. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong lol

Ah. What project was it? Are you sure you actually published it? What's the title? Let me see what I can see in your profile.

The project is called Scars. I left it open because I wasn't sure if closing the project would jeopardise it somehow... It's definitely ready to publish and I have the ' go ahead ' from the other collaborator. It's quite possible I've maybe clicked something I shouldn't or checked/unchecked a box I wasn't supposed to haha ! Thank you for your help.

Oh sorry, I completely misunderstood your issue when you mentioned the project was "completed" haha. So, the project is still open, and you need to go through the process to close and complete it. There's a button on the left side menu on the project page, either "Close", or "Complete" Project.. or something like that.. I can't remember exactly. You need to go through all that to get your project finished and into the store. 

This tutorial should help with that process https://www.procollabs.com/tutorials/completing_a_project
