Our new BETA Collaboration Features will allow you to share your release information and statistics directly with band members and collaborators. The release metadata and statistics can be made accessible to whoever you choose, allowing them to follow, edit and add to a particular release, remaining as up-to-date as you are.
How does the release-sharing feature work?
A release can be shared at any point of the process, whether being edited, approved or live. Once the release has been created, you can hit share:
After clicking the 'Share' button, you can enter the email address of the person you would like to share the release with:
Once you have entered the email, you can choose whether your collaborator can only view the metadata of the release or also be able to edit/add to it (editing is only available to a draft release):
When you click invite, your collaborator will receive an email inviting them to add the release to their MusicHub account.
Once they have accepted the release, they will find the live release on their Releases page, under the filter 'Shared with me':
Please Note: If the person you are sharing your release with does not yet have a MusicHub account, they will be asked to create a free account in order to view your release. This account will only allow them to view the release information. Should they wish to submit a release themselves they will require an active subscription, either paid or via a GEMA account. |
What information can my collaborators see?
If the release is live: they will be able to see who has shared the release with them:
If they click on Details, they will have be able to view the release metadata:
They will also be able to view the release's statistics:
And the breakdown of the royalties that the release has generated:
Please note that in this first feature version, collaborators will not see any royalties in their own account balance. |
If the release is a draft: If you are sharing the release so they can work on it together with you. They must allow you the option to edit the metadat. Once they follow the steps in the email sent to them, they will login directly to see the draft release and can start to add to it:
Any changes that they make to the metadata, any audio files they add or artwork, will all be reflected in the real release and you will also have access to them too. You can then go on to finish the release and the original creator of the release must be the once to submit the release.
What collaborator information can I see?
As the creator of that release, you will be able to see who you have shared the release with:
We hope you enjoy this BETA feature that we have implemented. Please bear in mind, this is the starting base for many new collaborative features to come. Royalty splits being a big focus. Feel free to leave us any feedback should you think of areas that would be good to improve on. Enjoy!
