When you first sign in, a short setup wizard walks you through your artist, one step at a time. You can skip steps and finish later from your profile settings.

**Three things unlock sending releases**
Your profile shows a small "profile setup" progress with three requirements:

1. **Name** - your artist name, how you are credited.
2. **Social** - at least one link (Spotify, Instagram, SoundCloud, YouTube, and so on) so we and your listeners can find you.
3. **Photo** - a clear profile photo or logo for your artist page.

Until these three are done, you can explore, organize projects and use the tracker, but the **Send** action on a release stays locked. A banner reminds you what is left.

**Already on streaming?**
In the wizard we ask if you already have artist pages on Spotify or Apple Music. If yes, paste your artist links so we do not create duplicate profiles for you.

**Reviewed before it goes live**
Profile changes (bio, image, links) are checked by our team before they appear publicly. You will see a "pending review" note until then.
