How to Find Your Projects, Screeners, Approvals, and Uploads

Use this guide if you are signed in to ScreenKey and are not sure where to go next.

You might be trying to:

Watch a screener someone sent you
Review or approve images
Upload files to a Project
Find a Project you manage
Switch between companies, productions, or teams
Find an invitation you have not accepted yet

If your goal is, “I’m in ScreenKey, but I’m not sure where my work is,” you are in the right place.

ScreenKey is a secure platform for reviewing, approving, uploading, organizing, and sharing film and television content. The dashboard helps route you to the right place depending on what you are trying to do.

The main areas of the dashboard

ScreenKey has a few main areas you will use often:

Area	Use it when you want to
My Projects	Create, manage, upload to, or organize Projects
For Review	Watch, review, approve, or return to content shared with you
Organization Menu	Switch between Organizations or manage Organization settings
User Menu	Manage your personal account, notifications, help, and sign-out options

The options you see may depend on your access, permissions, and which Organizations or Projects you belong to.

My Projects

Use My Projects when you are managing a Project or uploading media to one.

A Project is the main workspace in ScreenKey where media is uploaded, organized, reviewed, approved, and shared. Projects can contain media, permissions, Galleries, review workflows, analytics, and sharing settings.

You may use My Projects if you need to:

Create a new Project
Open a Project you manage
Upload media
Organize files into folders
Edit Project details
Share content with viewers
Give upload access to collaborators
Create or manage Screening Rooms
Access a Project where you were invited to upload media

A simple way to think about it:

If you are creating, managing, organizing, or uploading content, start in My Projects.

Finding upload access in My Projects

If someone invited you to upload media to a Project, that Project should appear in My Projects after you accept the invitation and sign in.

Upload access always requires sign-in. There are no Share Links for upload access.

Use the same email address where you received the upload invitation. If you sign in with a different email address, ScreenKey may not recognize that you have access.

Depending on your permissions, you may be able to upload to the whole Project or only to specific folders. You may only see the files you uploaded, unless the Project Team also gave you separate viewing or review access.

The Screening Rooms area in My Projects

At the top of My Projects, you may see a Screening Rooms area.

A Screening Room is a curated viewing experience. It can include selected media from multiple Projects and present that content in one shared viewing space.

You might use a Screening Room to create or manage:

A buyer package
A sales catalogue
An awards package
A curated collection of titles
A group of screeners from multiple Projects

Use the Screening Rooms area when you need to create, edit, organize, or share a curated viewing experience.

The Project Grid

The Project Grid shows Projects available in your active Organization.

Each Project appears as a card. Select a Project card to open it.

From the Project Grid, you may be able to:

Open a Project
Create a new Project
Search for Projects
Filter Projects
Sort Projects
Access Project actions from the Project card menu

If you expected to see a Project and it is missing, check that you are in the correct Organization and signed in with the correct email address.

For Review

Use For Review when someone shared content with you to watch, review, approve, comment on, or return to later.

This is where you find ScreenKey content that was shared with you by someone else.

You may use For Review if you need to:

Watch a screener
Open a Project shared with you
Open a Screening Room shared with you
Review media
Approve or reject images
Leave feedback
Download files, if downloads are enabled
Mark a Project as complete
Request access to expired content
Claim a new invitation

A simple way to think about it:

If someone sent you content to watch, review, or approve, start in For Review.

Alerts in For Review

At the top of For Review, you may see an Alerts area.

Alerts can show important notices about your review access, including invitations you have not accepted yet.

If you see an unclaimed invitation, select the alert to claim access and open the shared Project or Screening Room.

My Screening Rooms in For Review

The My Screening Rooms area shows Screening Rooms that have been shared with you.

A Screening Room may include content from more than one Project. This lets you browse a curated set of titles, screeners, or media packages without opening each Project separately.

Use My Screening Rooms to:

Open Screening Rooms shared with you
Browse curated content
Access multiple Projects or titles from one viewing experience
Review a package prepared for you

Projects For Review

The Projects For Review area shows individual Projects that have been shared with you.

Projects may be grouped by status so you can quickly tell what needs attention.

Common statuses include:

Status	What it means
Needs Review	The Project is available and waiting for you to review it
Completed	You marked the Project as complete
Expired	Your viewing window has ended
Upcoming	The Project is not available yet

If a Project has expired, it may still appear in For Review so you can request access again.

Use the Organization Menu when you need to switch between Organizations or manage Organization-level settings.

An Organization is the administrative workspace that owns Projects and manages Team Members, permissions, settings, and billing. A user may belong to multiple Organizations, and each Organization can have its own Projects, users, settings, and permissions.

Use the Organization Menu to:

View Organizations you belong to
Switch between Organizations
Create a new Organization, if allowed
Access Organization management tools
Manage Team Members, if you have permission
Manage Organization-level settings, if you have permission

This matters because Projects belong to Organizations, not just to individual users. If you are looking for a Project you manage and cannot find it, you may be in the wrong Organization.

Use the User Menu to manage your own ScreenKey account.

This is different from the Organization Menu. The Organization Menu controls the workspace you are working in. The User Menu controls your personal account experience.

Use the User Menu to:

Manage your profile
Update account settings
Access notifications
Find help resources
Sign out of ScreenKey

Depending on your permissions, you may also see additional administrative options.

My Projects vs. For Review

The most important dashboard distinction is between My Projects and For Review.

Dashboard area	Start here when you need to
My Projects	Create, manage, organize, share, or upload media to Projects
For Review	Watch, review, approve, comment on, download, or return to content shared with you

If you are managing content for your team, start in My Projects.

If someone shared content with you to watch or review, start in For Review.

If someone invited you to upload media, sign in and look in My Projects.

Common examples

“Someone sent me a screener link.”

Open the link first. After you have access, you can usually find the screener again in For Review.

“I need to approve or reject images.”

Go to For Review and look for the approvals Project or Gallery that was shared with you.

“I need to upload files.”

Go to My Projects. Upload access requires sign-in, and the Project should appear there after you accept the invitation.

“I created a Project but cannot find it.”

Check the Organization Menu. You may be viewing a different Organization than the one where the Project was created.

“I work with more than one company or production.”

Use the Organization Menu to switch between Organizations. Then check My Projects or For Review, depending on what you need to do.

“I have an invitation but do not see the Project.”

Check For Review for alerts if it is review access. Check My Projects if it is upload access. Also make sure you are signed in with the same email address where the invitation was sent.

Troubleshooting

If you cannot find what you are looking for, check these common issues.

Are you signed in with the correct email address?

Invitations are often tied to the email address where they were sent.

Are you in the correct Organization?

If you manage Projects across more than one Organization, switch Organizations from the Organization Menu.

Are you looking in the right dashboard area?

Use My Projects for Projects you manage or upload to. Use For Review for content shared with you to watch, review, or approve.

Have you accepted the invitation?

Some invitations need to be claimed before the Project or Screening Room appears.

Has your access expired?

Expired Projects may still appear in For Review, where you may be able to request renewed access.

Has your access changed?

The Project Team may have changed permissions, disabled a link, removed access, or adjusted the viewing window.

Are you looking for upload access through a Share Link?

Upload access does not use Share Links. You must sign in with the invited email address.

If you still cannot find the Project, Screening Room, approval, or upload area you need, contact the person or team who invited you.

Summary

Use My Projects when you need to create, manage, organize, share, or upload media to a Project.

Use For Review when someone shared content with you to watch, review, approve, download, comment on, or return to later.

Use the Organization Menu when you need to switch between companies, productions, teams, or workspaces.

Use the User Menu when you need to manage your personal ScreenKey account, notifications, help, or sign-out options.

When in doubt, ask yourself what you are trying to do:

Managing or uploading? Go to My Projects.

Watching, reviewing, or approving? Go to For Review.
