Publishing a Concept

To publish a Concept, navigate to the Concepts page from the project navigation menu.

Concept Menu

To upload a concept, click the Add a new reference to concepts button. You can upload one or several concepts simultaneously.

Concept empty page

After the upload is complete, previews will be generated and visible from your concepts page.

Concept filled page

Click on the thumbnail to see an enlarged preview of your concept, or click on the status to open the Comment Panel on the right.

With the comment panel open, you have two options:

  1. You can link a concept with an existing asset / delete and existing link.
  2. You can comment and change the status of the concept.

It is good practice to only have one version per Concept. If the concept is not approved and requires additional changes, then it's better to version-up that concept.

Publish a Preview as a Version

To publish a preview, picture, or video, access the task's comment panel and select the PUBLISH REVISION tab.

Kitsu automatically switches to the Publish Revision tab when using a status with the IS FEEDBACK REQUEST option, such as the WFA Status.

Publish Revision

You can add one or several previews to any comments. These can be a picture (.png, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif), a video (.mp4, .mov, .wmv), or a .glb file. Additionally, you can review all the previews from the browser or mix everything.

You can also review a .glb file as a wireframe or add a .HDR file to check the lighting. See the Customization section for more details.

Pipeline Customization

Other files like .pdf, .zip, .rar, .ma, or .mb cannot be viewed in the browser and need to be downloaded to be reviewed.

Then, click on the Add preview revision to publish button. The explorer opens, allowing you to choose your file or several files.

Attach Preview

You can also copy-paste a screenshot from your clipboard into this upload dialogue, without needing to download it first. Once your file is selected, you will see its name near the Add files to publish button.

Attach Preview Filled

You can also drag & drop files that you wish to upload into the comment section to automatically start the upload process.

Attach Preview Drag Drop

On top of your preview, you can add a Comment. Click the Leave a Comment button to unfold the comment section.

Add a comment to a Publish

You can then select your status and publish your preview with the Post Button.

For more information on using publishes as thumbnails, see this section here on thumbnails.

Combining Previews Into a Version

You can add multiple images simultaneously, or once you have uploaded an image, you can add another one.

Upload Several Pictures

The Add preview pop-up asks you to choose a file. You can navigate through the pictures uploaded.

You can change the preview order by clicking the number and then dragging and dropping them.

Preview Drag Drop

To delete an additional preview, enlarge the comment panel, click on the number of versions, and then click on the Delete Button.
