Log progress: photos, time and credits

Three panels on a build keep the record of making it: photos, time and credits.

Before you start

Post a progress photo

1. Jump to Photos

   Press Log progress at the top of the build.

2. Choose the picture

   Choose a file or paste one, and add a Caption (optional).

3. Credit the photo (if it isn't all yours)

   Pick a Credit — Photographer, Editing, Makeup or Wig — and type Their name or @username (if not you). An @username links straight to that member.

4. Say if AI was involved

   Tick AI-generated or AI-edited if that applies. The photo then shows AI-assisted.

5. Upload

   Press Upload.

Time your work

1. Pick what you're timing

   Under time, choose The whole build, or a piece or a task from the menu.

2. Start and stop

   Press Start timer. The panel reads Running on … with the clock; press Stop when you put the tools down. It runs on our side, so a timer started on your phone is still running on your computer.

3. Log time you forgot to time

   Under Log time already spent, enter the h and min, a day (today if empty), and press Log.

4. Show it off (optional)

   Tick Show the total on my portfolio card to show the hours once the build is Finished and Public.

Credit the people who helped

1. Pick the role

   Under credits: Photographer, Co-cosplayer, Maker, Commissioner, Makeup, Wig, Editing, Location or Con.

2. Name them

   Type @username or a name (for Location or Con, Where).

3. Say what it's on

   The whole build, or one photo.

4. Credit

   Press Credit.

If something's off

“Your timer is running on … Stop it there to time this build.”

One timer runs at a time. Stop it on the other build first.

My timer stopped by itself

A timer left running for more than a day is stopped at 24 hours. Correct it by deleting the entry and logging the real time.

A credit says declined

They turned it down. Only they can change that, from Your credits.

“It is your build: credit someone else.”

You can't credit yourself on your own build.
