How your project portal works.
Everything for your project is in one place: what we are building, your feedback, what we need from you, your files and your invoices. Here is how to get in, and how to give us feedback.
Getting in
- Your invite. We email you an invite. Press Open your project. That link works once, for 7 days.
- Coming back. Go to neonstudio.ai/portal and type your email, then press Email me a sign-in link. We email you a fresh link each time; it works for 20 minutes. There is no password to remember. If your email is a Google account, Continue with Google signs you straight in.
- Keep it handy. Bookmark neonstudio.ai/portal, or add it to your phone's home screen.
- Your team. Everyone signs in with their own email, so we know who said what. Ask us to invite them.
Link expired, or no email? Ask for a new link on the sign-in page and check your spam folder. Still stuck? Write to info@neonstudio.ai.
Your home
- Needs you lists what is waiting on you, across every project.
- Each project has a card. Open it to see the work and give feedback.
- To do lists what we need from you, like a logo, a photo or an answer.
- Create is where you ask us for anything, send files or book a call.
- Your account menu has Guides: short tours on the real pages. Run any of them again whenever you like.
Feedback on pages
Open a project and its Site tab. The page shows exactly as it will look. Pick Desktop, Tablet or Phone above it to see each size.
- Pick a tool on the left.
- Browse uses the page as normal: scroll, click, open menus.
- Comment pins a note. Click a spot, or drag to mark an area.
- Draw circles something, points an arrow at it or sketches the idea.
- Wording lets you click any words and type how they should read.
- File pins a photo, a PDF or a document where it belongs. You can also drop files onto the page.
- Say what should change, in your own words. Attach a file, add a link to a site you like, or record a voice note. Press Post.
- Keep going across every page. Each note is saved in your round, but nothing reaches us until you send it. You can edit or delete your own notes until then.
- Send the round when you are done: press Send round in the round bar on the right. Your notes reach us as one list.
A note stays on its spot at every screen size. Press ? in the project for every tool and keyboard shortcut, and Take the tour for a one-minute tour on the real keys.
Ads and creative
- The Ads tab shows every ad. Open one and use the same tools on it.
- On a video, pause where your note applies. The note is kept at that moment.
- Ad copy lists the words that run with the ad. Press Change beside a line to suggest new words.
- Stories and Reels show what the app covers, In feed shows the ad as it appears in a feed, and Compare puts two or three side by side.
Rounds
A round is one list of notes, sent together. It keeps feedback clear for both of us.
- Send once, at the end. Add everything first, then press Send round.
- One round at a time. While a round is with us, new notes wait until we deliver it. You can still reply on its notes to add to them.
- We do the work. We make the changes in the next build and mark each note Done or Won't do, with a line saying what we did.
- Check it. When the round comes back, the round bar says Back to check. Press Check round, open the new build and read each note.
- Close it, or reply. If it all looks right, press Looks good, close round. If one change is not right, reply on that note: it moves into your next round.
The Rounds tab shows every round from sent to delivered, and the project's Timeline.
To do and files
- To do is what we need from you. Press Mark done when it is done, or Answer to reply with words, a link or a file.
- Files sends us photos, logos, documents, fonts or video, up to 100 MB each. Press Choose files, say what they are for, and press Send.
Approving
- When a page or an ad is right, press Approve. If it should not go ahead, press Reject and say why.
- Approvals on your home brings up every piece waiting on you, one at a time.
- Your project's admin approves. Everyone else on your team can still comment.
On a phone
Everything works on a phone. Tap to pin a note; the note box opens at the bottom of the screen. For long rounds, a computer is easier.
