## Before you start

Make sure you are signed in and can open [your dashboard](/dashboard/). If the page sends you to another role area, check your profile and role settings in [Account Settings](/dashboard/account/).

## Step-by-step workflow

1. Use public pool visibility when you want artists browsing [Gig Requests](/gig-request/) to find the opportunity.

1. Use private visibility when you only want to share the detail link with selected artists.
2. Review applications in Gig Request Contacts.

3. When the role is filled, open the gig request detail and use Mark matched if available.

   Quality checklist

   • Keep names, dates, venues, budgets, and contact details accurate before sending or publishing anything.
   • Use clear messages so the other side understands what action is needed.
   • Check Notification Center after you submit, apply, invite, or update a listing.
   • Return to the relevant dashboard list when you need to review status or continue work.
