Request work, hand it in, review it

Updated November 15, 2026 · 3 min read

For a file in Design › Files you request work from a teammate, and they upload it with Hand in. You look at the new version, put marks on it, and say Approve or Request changes.

Who it's for

Request work: the founder and leads with the Tasks permission.

Hand in: the people the task is assigned to.

The final word: whoever asked, the founder, or a lead with the Tasks permission who isn't on the task.

Request work

Right-click the file's card and choose Request work. Fill in To, What needs doing (such as Textures and materials, UV unwrap or Rig), Note, Due and Which stage's board, then press Send task. The task lands in the pipeline's To do column, with the file inside it.

Hand in

The person on the task opens its window, presses Hand in in the Files section and picks their work. A file with the same name becomes a new version; otherwise it is added as a new file. The task moves to In review and whoever asked is told.

Review with marks

Open the file. Press Add mark, click a spot on the picture or the model and write your note. On a model, the mark stays on the surface as the model turns. You can also write a note for the whole version. People reply under each note, and whoever fixes it presses Mark as resolved.

Approve or ask for changes

Approve moves the task to Done. With Request changes you can add a general note and press Send back for changes; the task returns to In progress with its open notes. The fixed work comes back the same way, through Hand in.

Tip

To see what changed, press Compare in the file's window. More in Versions and previews.

Something went wrong?

Request work isn't in the menu.

Requesting work opens a task, so you need to be the founder or a lead with the Tasks permission.

I can't see the Hand in button.

It shows only for the people on the task, and only while the task isn't Done.

I can't put a mark on the file.

Files without a preview take no marks; write your note for the whole version instead.
