Prepare a first contribution a reviewer can assess

Checkpoint 1

Begin with the actual assignment

Open My Work and select the assignment connected with your profile or active group membership. Read its purpose, scope, dates, notes, stages, deliverables, and readiness requirements. For custom pathways, read the materials provided with the assignment. Confirm the first deliverable and reviewer when clarification is needed. Use the seven-day research cycle to organize a manageable question, evidence review, contribution, feedback, and next step.

• Define the specific product the reviewer should receive.
• Record sources and decisions while working.
• Use the approved project location to preserve the document or file and its version.

Checkpoint 2

Prepare a reviewable submission

Choose the correct active assignment in the submission form. Give the deliverable a specific title and summarize the work completed, sources used, quality checks performed, and questions for review. Provide its approved HTTPS evidence link. Confirm that the summary and link contain suitable operational information and that the underlying material remains within its authorized location and access boundary. Review the complete entry before submitting.

Checkpoint 3

Follow the receipt and feedback

After a successful save, check submission history for the receipt, date, assignment, and review state. Read owner feedback and use a new dated version for requested revisions under the same assignment; earlier submissions remain available. If the assignment is paused or complete, ask the owner about reopening before further submission. Preserve the contribution trail so the work, its evidence, and its next decision remain easy to understand.
