Coming from editing and design tools
For each tool: what you did there, where it is in Shotread and whether it works today, in the order of the work: plan, make, review, publish, measure, grow and run the agency.
What each status means
- Works in Shotread
- Checked in Shotread and works.
- Works with your own account
- Works when you connect your own account or key with that provider. The line under it names the account.
- Waits
- Needs an approval or a provider Shotread does not have yet. The line under it names which. Until then the screen in Shotread says why.
- Partly built
- Part of it works. The line under it says what is missing.
- Not built yet
- Shotread does not do this today.
- Not verified yet
- Not part of the last check, so this page makes no claim about it.
