In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to edit and post your assignment.
About Edit Assignment
After creating an assignment, you have the opportunity to review all the information you've entered before sending it to blackbear for review. Feel free to make any necessary changes or edits to ensure it matches your vision perfectly. Once you are satisfied, you can submit it for review or request to publish it if it has already been reviewed by our team.
Please note that you will be editing the assignment information that will be sent to our Solvers. A Project Consultant will still review your changes before approving the post to make sure there are no mistakes or inconsistencies but you want the information to be as ready and clear as possible for going live on our platform.
