Understanding the review workflow

Every review in Magpiie follows the same loop, whatever the format: upload, collect pinned feedback, work through it, upload the next version, and approve. Learn it once and it works for a YouTube video, a podcast episode, a thumbnail, or a script.

A new upload stacks as the latest version and goes into review.

The review loop, step by step

Upload a draft. Upload a video, short, thumbnail, script, or audio draft to a project to start the review.
Bring in reviewers. Invite the people whose notes you need as project members, and share a public link with anyone who only needs to watch.
Collect pinned feedback. Reviewers pin comments to the exact frame, script line, audio second, or spot on a thumbnail, tagged by category and priority.
Work through the comments. The team moves each comment through Open, In progress, Needs info, Resolved, or Won't fix.
Upload the next version. The new version stacks on top, and unresolved notes carry forward so reviewers can check each fix in one pass.
Approve. Reviewers approve the version, and the sign-off is timestamped against it.

Who does what

Role in the loop	What they do
Uploader (editor, writer, designer, audio engineer)	Uploads drafts and new versions, works through assigned comments, and marks them resolved.
Reviewer (producer, creator, client)	Leaves pinned comments, answers questions, checks fixes on the next version, and approves.
Owner or production manager	Sets up projects, invites members, assigns feedback, and gives the final sign-off.

Why a structured loop is faster

Nobody rebuilds a to-do list from chat threads. The open comments are the to-do list.
Editors jump straight to the frame, line, or second a note is about.
Unresolved notes follow the draft to the next version, so nothing gets lost between rounds.
Everyone always reviews the latest version, not a cut you replaced two days ago.
The approval is on record, so "did we sign off on v3?" takes one look to answer.
