A project owner can set a final date and time for your review. The deadline keeps the review period clear and closes access or review actions automatically when time runs out.

​
Find the deadline

When a deadline is active, the project dashboard shows the exact date and time in a label with the calendar-clock icon. Select the label to read more about the deadline. During the final three days, a red warning shows the remaining days and hours on the dashboard. The deadline label and warning do not appear on other pages.
Check the deadline when you start a review. Plan enough time to add feedback and submit your final response before it expires.

​
Reminders and changes

If you are an approver, Shootbin sends an email reminder three days, two days, and one day before the deadline. You also receive a notification when the project owner changes the deadline. Your project notification preferences determine which emails and in-app notifications you receive. Guests can see the deadline on the dashboard, but do not receive these deadline reminders.

​
What happens after the deadline

The result depends on your project role.
You can still sign in, open the dashboard, browse the project, and use messages. You can no longer:
  • Approve or reject photos
  • Add, edit, resolve, or remove annotations and comments
  • Change photo ratings
  • Send the project back for edits
  • Mark the review as complete
Shootbin shows an expired-deadline message on the dashboard and notifies you when the review period closes.
Submit all feedback and complete the review before the displayed time. Unsaved or late review actions are not accepted after the deadline.

​
Request more time as an approver

If you are an approver, you can ask the project owner to extend an expired deadline.
1

Open the project dashboard

The dashboard shows that the deadline has expired.
2

Request an extension

Select Request extension. Shootbin sends a notification to the project owner.
3

Wait for the owner

The owner decides whether to change the deadline. You can use Messages to add context to your request.
4

Continue the review

Once the owner sets a new future deadline, your review actions become available again.
Sending the request repeatedly does not send duplicate notifications for the same deadline.
