How do I import a Brief I already created outside of Cohley?

What links are supported for the sample content section?

• Instagram 
• TikTok
• Youtube
• All other content should be saved to your desktop and uploaded directly into the Brief wizard.

How can I include multiple concepts in a brief?

• If you'd like Creators to choose from a list of concepts, outline them with bullet points in the "concept" section. Then in the creator targeting stage, ask a single selection question, "What concept would you like to film?" 
• If you have too many creators choosing the same concept, you can always reassign concepts at time of acceptance 
• If your concepts are tied to different products, please list concepts out in the concept section and send more detailed information in a google doc to the creator at time of acceptance based on the product you're sending them. We highly recommend avoiding a concept per product as it can be difficult to manage, but this option is available if necessary

What does the Brief look like for a creator?

I have more information I'd like to share with creators on the brief once they're accepted, how do I do that?

Can I edit the Brief once it's live?
