My Requests
The My Requests page lets you track your project submissions from initial request through quote approval.
Understanding Project Requests
When you create a new project in MyStudio, it starts as a project request. This request goes to your production team who will review it and send you a quote. Once you approve the quote, it becomes an active project.
Accessing My Requests
Click My Requests in the sidebar to see all your project requests.
