Publishing Roles
Each role within a project has its own publication settings - Casting Directors have the ability to release each role rather than a project as a whole.
When adding a role, you can specify if you would like to publish your role to talent representatives, directly to talent, or both. While each role can have its own publication settings, you can choose to import the same settings when adding any additional roles.
For more information on choosing publication settings, check out this article!

What does publishing a role mean?
When creating a role, you have an option to indicate whether or not you intend to publish the role.
By selecting Yes, the role will be made available for talent and/or talent representatives to submit based on your publication settings.
By selecting No, the role will not be made available for talent and/or talent representatives to submit. This role will only be visible to you and listed as an internal role. You may choose this option if you would like to directly add talent to this role via search.
Helpful Tip: If you do not publish a role, talent and representatives may see role information if requested or scheduled for the role.
How to Publish Roles
To publish roles:
- Click on your project name
- When on the project overview, click Publish
- Select Publish - You will be able to include a message to talent representatives or to talent, depending on your publication settings for new roles.
- Click Publish
If you’ve already published roles in your project, but have new roles you’d like to publish, please see: How do I add a new role to my project after I've already published it?
Helpful Tips:
- The status of your project will be visible in the status column from your projects list page. Your project will appear as Active or Not Yet Published in the Status column.
- In the general role information section when first creating a role, you will be asked if you intend to publish the role. If you click “No”, the role will only be visible to you. If you add talent in this role to a request or schedule, the role information would become available to them.

Note: Requesting additional submissions for roles where submissions are closed will update the role status to Requesting Additional Submissions.

- Click Publish

Helpful Tip: Widen Publication Settings will only appear if there's a role in the status Active, Requesting Additional Submissions, or Submissions Closed.
How do I see all roles I've added to a project
You can find all roles in a project on the “Project Overview”. To access the project overview, click the project title from your projects list. Your role(s) will appear Active or Not Yet Published in the Status column.
If you still have trouble finding the role, you may need to adjust the “Filter by” selection above your roles. It will show all work dates by default, but you can choose to filter by future dates or expired work dates as well. If you have a large number of roles, roles may be on a secondary page.
