Every file passes several states between the moment it has been uploaded to M+ and the moment it gets approved on the microstock agencies. Each state is reflected in M+ interface and called "File status". This manual will help you to understand the file statuses and to solve the known issues related to them.

== Where can I find the file statuses and how can I change them? ==
File statuses are displayed in the My Files section under every thumbnail as a colored bar and in the Upload/Submit tab next to every agency name. The Upload/Submit tab allows you to review and change the selected file(s) statuses for each microstock agency. You can see more details about the statuses of the selected files there along with any related messages. 
To change a file status for an agency simply click on it in the Upload/Submit panel and select a new one from the drop-down list that will appear. Please note that you can't override some statuses manually (i.e. "Not ready" and "Out of submissions") as they are caused by some issues that need to be resolved.
The colored bars under the file thumbnails allow to get a quick grasp of statuses of all files in a folder and quickly notice any issues. By default all color sectors are ordered by the agency but you can opt for grouping them by color instead (like in StockSubmitter). To do so, deactivate the "Display statuses in the bar ordered by agency" toggle in the Dashboard section.

[[File:Start eng.jpg|left]] 

==Not ready==
[[File:Файл:Notready eng.jpg|left|400px]] 

This status means that your file haven't met one or more of the Microstock agency requirements (see the "Ready" file status). The details can be found in the Upload/Submit tab right to the Microstock agency name. Hover an error message with your mouse to see a proposed solution. Once a file will meet the requirements its status will automatically change to Ready.

[[File:Second eng.jpg|thumb|An example of solving an issue of a file that's not ready|left]] 

This status is displayed in pink color.

==A required file is missing==
[[File:Nofile eng.jpg|left|400px]] 

All vector files must be uploaded as a pair of a EPS file and a JPG preview. This applies to all microstock agencies! Otherwise the file will have the "A required file is missing" status. To solve this issue just upload a JPG preview with the same name as your EPS file (or a EPS file with the same name as your preview). A pair should get joined together automatically.

==Ready==
[[File:Ready eng.jpg|left|400px]] 

This status indicates that your file is ready to be uploaded on the microstock agency and shouldn't cause any issues during submission. It is displayed in yellow color.

=== To get the Ready status your file must meet the following conditions ===

:*A file must be uploaded to the M+ cloud storage. Any .EPS file must be paired with a .JPG preview;
:*A file must have a title, a description, categories, keywords and other metadata;
:*Metadata must comply with the Microstock agency requirements (most known issues are described below).

Please note that we can't check if you have attached all necessary releases to your files because there's no way to predict whether a file requires a release or not. 
Once a file gets the Ready status for an agency, you can upload it there. To do so, select a file (or files) you'd like to upload, open the Upload/Submit tab, select the microstock agency(ies) of your choice or check the Select all checkbox, then click the "Upload Selected" button.

[[File:Third eng.jpg|thumb|left]] 

==Scheduled==
[[File:Scheduled eng.jpg|left|400px]] 

Both StockSubmitter and M+ allow to schedule an upload to any Microstock agency and adjust the settings for this event.

To schedule an upload select a file (or files) you'd like to upload, open the Upload/Submit tab, select the desired microstock agency(ies) or check the Select all checkbox, then click the icon with a watch above the file gallery. Once a pop up appears, adjust the settings and click the "Schedule" button to proceed. Once you do so, the file(s) will be scheduled for uploading at the specified time and the bar above the file thumbnail (or a part of it) will turn light-blue.

[[File:Sched.png|thumb|How to schedule a file upload|left]] 

==Queued==
[[File:Queued eng.jpg|left|400px]] 

This status indicates that a file has been queued for an upload to a microstock agency. Microstock agencies are known for their paranoidal attitude and tend to be suspicious of multi-threaded upload. M+ imitates a behavior of a real person to not arouse any suspicion by creating a queue of files. Normally, it shouldn't take long, but a huge amount of heavy files or a high load on the agency server may cause delays. If the ETA haven't been shortening for a few hours please contact the tech support.

==Uploading==
[[File:Uploading eng.jpg|left|400px]] 

This status indicates that a file is currently being uploaded to the microstock agency(ies). It is displayed in lime color.
If an upload will be interrupted by an issue, M+ will make another attempt after a short time (the exact period is shown in parentheses below the status). Sometimes it takes several attempts to succeed and it depends on the microstock agency, not M+. Most common issues like Connection error/Maintenance should get resolved on the next uploading attempt and do not require your intervention. If this problem lasts for longer than 24 hours, please contact the tech support.

==Upload failed==
[[File:Upload failed eng.jpg|left|400px]] 

This status indicates that a fatal error has occurred while trying to upload a file. For details visit the Upload/Submit tab and find the microstock agency with a pink colored square marker. You will see an exact reason for the failure there. Correct the error and repeat an upload attempt (to do so, change the status to Ready, select the problematic agency and click the Upload selected again). If you are not sure how to resolve the error please contact our support.

==Uploaded==
[[File:Uploaded eng.jpg|left|400px]] 

This status indicates that a file has been successfully uploaded to the microstock agency but haven't been submitted yet. Please, do not confuse these two statuses! When a file is uploaded, it has arrived to the microstock agency site but it isn't in the review queue yet. This status does NOT require any actions. Usually the file appears at the microstock agency within 5-10 minutes after it has been uploaded, but sometimes it takes up to a few hours (depending on the microstock agency). After that the file will be automatically submitted within 30 minutes. 
'''Please! Be patient and do not submit the uploaded file manually if it has appeared at the microstock agency site! It disrupts the procedure and causes errors!''' 
This status is displayed in green color.

===Frequently asked questions on this step===
:*''Why a successfully uploaded file lacks a part/all metadata? Why the description and the title have been switched?'' When your file has been successfully uploaded, the microstock agency handles the file's metadata according to it's own algorithm and there's no way to affect this process. After a successful submission all metadata should appear as you have inputted it.
:*''Some of the essential metadata fields are empty/one of the essential checkboxes isn't checked. Is that a reason for a submission to fail?'' It works the other way round: the submission process has gone wrong (or didn't happen yet) and that's why some of the metadata hasn't been filled. It may be a temporary issue or just a submission delay, so, please, give M+ at least 1 hour to resolve the issue. If it takes longer though, please contact the tech support.
:*''Submission process takes too long! How to speed up the process? How to launch a submission manually?'' M+ can't force the submission process because that mostly depends on the microstock agency. If the files haven't been submitted yet then it was simply not possible. As soon as the submission will be possible M+ will perform it so please just give it some time.
:*''My files got submitted to every agency but Dissolve! What do I do?'' This microstock agency accepts files in batches only (at least 10 files per batch). Please upload more files to the same batch if there are less than 10 files.
:*''Freepik doesn't have batches but the submission doesn't happen there!'' They require you to upload at least 10 files before submitting them will be possible.

===Don't forget to check the following===
:*Have you gone over the microstock agency submission limit? Some microstock agencies like VideoHive and Bigstock have their own submission limit. Please, check if you haven't exceeded it.
:*Did you pass the exam and fill all required forms on the agency website? Some agencies may require a separate exam for every category or ask you to update your tax forms every few years.
:*Does the agency website work at the moment? Didn't they stop accepting content temporarily or permanently? We do our best to keep track of such events and display messages for you but it's still possible that we're not aware of something like that.
:*Does the file meet the microstock agency's requirements?

If all conditions were fulfilled, the submission normally should take no longer than 5-15 minutes after the file has appeared on the microstock agency website (in an extreme case it may take up to an hour). If it's been more than an hour, all conditions have been fulfilled and submission still isn't happening, please contact the tech support.

==Submitted==
[[File:Submited eng.jpg|left|400px]] 

This status indicates that all metadata including the attached release files have been delivered to the microstock agency website and the file have been sent to the reviewers. This step doesn't require any actions, just wait for the reviewers' decision. M+ tracks the approval process and will change the file status to Approved or Rejected if it is supported for this agency. This status is displayed in cyan color.

==Submit failed==
[[File:Submit failed eng.jpg|left|400px]] 

This status indicates that an error has occurred during the submission process. For details visit the Upload/Submit tab and find the microstock agency with a pink colored square marker. You will see a specific error message next to it. Hover your mouse over the error message to see a proposed solution for the issue. Correct the error, change the status to Uploaded and let the M+ try to submit it again.
It's a common issue to see this status for Shutterstock if there are minor keyword issues like spam/misspelled keywords and you've disabled resolving the minor issues automatically in the Shutterstock settings in M+. In that case please enable it back and change the file status to Uploaded.

==Out of submissions==
[[File:Nosubmittions eng.jpg|left|400px]] 

===If you're using a Free subscription plan===
Every M+ and StockSubmitter user has 33 free submissions to each agency per month (30 days from the first submission). If you've noticed the status Out of submissions that means you've gone over the limit.

;There are several solutions for the issue

:*Wait for the next 30-day period to start. Then you'll be able to use another 33 submissions to each microstock agency.
:*Purchase a paid subscription plan. You can find more information in our Store. To go to the Store click your current subscription plan in the top right corner of the M+ interface or open the Store section in the left menu.
:*Submit your files to iStock or MotionElements - it's free and unlimited.
:*Submit files manually without M+ or StockSubmitter. Please make sure to not forget changing their status to Submitted in M+ if you do so! Otherwise M+ will consider them lost by the agency website and will automatically re-upload them a week later.

===If you're using a paid subscription plan===
You've gone over the limit of your subscription plan. You can see the details of your subscription plan in our Store. To go to the Store click on your current plan in the top right corner of the M+ interface or open the Store section in the left menu.

;There are several solutions for this issue

:*Wait for the next 30-day period to start and you will get as much submissions as available for your plan. Make sure your account balance is enough to prolong the subscription to the next month;
:*Purchase extra submissions. If you just need a small number of extra submissions this month it will be the preferred way as it allows you to purchase a little as 10 extra submissions. To do so go to the Store, click the "Increase limit" button and specify how many submissions do you need. This is a single-time purchase and will not affect the next month;
:*Switch to the more expensive subscription plan with a higher limit of submissions. You only pay the difference between the prices of the plans but the current 30-day period expiration date will not be changed nor will the current submission consumption reset. Make sure to change your subscription plan back before the end of the current month if you don't want to continue using the new plan, otherwise the system will automatically prolong the new plan charging your account balance for its full price once the current month ends;
:*Purchase a package (single month or a longer one) on a more expensive plan. In this case you would have to pay the full price of the package and the new plan will replace the current one, starting the first month from the moment of purchase and resetting the current submission consumption. As with the previous option, make sure you switch back to a cheaper plan if you don't intend to continue using the new one after the current month;
:*Submit your files to iStock or MotionElements - it's free and unlimited;
:*Submit files manually without M+ or StockSubmitter. Please make sure to not forget changing their status to Submitted in M+ if you do so! Otherwise M+ will consider them lost by the agency website and will automatically re-upload them a week later.

==Submitted but missing==
[[File:Lost eng.jpg|left|400px]] 

This is a very rare status that means that your file has been successfully submitted but then disappeared from the microstock agency site. First, check if it has really disappeared. If so, it was caused by a bug on the agency end. In this case, please re-upload the file to the microstock agency. To do so, select the file(s), assign them the Ready status for this agency, then select the agency and click the "Upload Selected" button. 
If the file is in fact present on the agency website but has the "Submitted but missing" status in M+, please contact the tech support.

==Approved==
[[File:Approved eng.jpg|left|400px]] 

This is the most pleasant status of all! It means that your file has been approved by the reviewers and has been put up for sale. This status is displayed in dark green color.

==Rejected==
[[File:Rejected eng.jpg|left|400px]] 

This status indicates that for some reason your file has been declined by the reviewers. If the reason was specified on the microstock agency website it should appear in the M+ interface below the status as well.

==Ignored==
[[File:Ignored eng.jpg|left|400px]] 

===This status could mean one of the following===
:*This microstock agency doesn't accept content of such type (for example, 123RF doesn't accept video files);
:*You have manually disabled uploading content of such type to this microstock agency in settings;
:*You have manually assigned the Ignored status to the selected file(s) for this agency. Ignored status is assigned to files the same way as any other status - by hovering the current status with your mouse and selecting the "Ignored" from the list. To revert the status just repeat the same procedure, but select another status of your choice.
This status is displayed in gray color.

==What’s Microstock+ Trends?==
Microstock+ Trends is a service that determines the market trends by analyzing the information gathered from one of the biggest microstock agencies — Shutterstock.

==How can I benefit from it?==
With M+ Trends you can easily track fresh content that’s quickly heading to the top. Using this information you can make similar content just in time to get into the trend and earn great sales. There are many search, filtering and sorting options that allow you to fine-tune the displayed results and get a full content coverage. In addition, every M+ Trends user receives a trend indicator that’s integrated into the M+ interface. This indicator allows you to predict popularity and sales of your files.

==How does Microstock+ Trends work?==
M+ Trends continuously monitors Shutterstock search results for every type of content (video, photo, vectors and illustrations). Each time a file changes its position, M+ Trends stores this information in its database. After that it’s using it to build the file position graph and determine its “trendiness”.

==Trend indicator==
Every M+ Trends subscription plan includes the trend indicator feature. This indicator is integrated into the M+ interface and once you purchase any M+ Trends subscription you should notice colored flame icons with numbers in the top right corner of your files’ thumbnails. Those numbers reflect the file’s “trendiness” in the 0-100 range (with 0 being the least trendy and 100 being the most trendy files).

[[File:Indicator.png|center]] 

Vibrant red color and high rating mean the file is very attractive and has a great selling potential. A picture above illustrates color gradation of trend indicator.

==Language and subscription settings==
You can choose the interface language (English or Russian) and check your subscription plan in the top right corner. Clicking on the current language lets you to select another one. And if you click on the subscription plan you will be redirected into the Store where you can change it.

==Stock Files section==
“Stock Files” section is located in the top left corner. In this section you can explore trending categories and keywords. You can also view the sales graph of each file that’s built based on our neural network if your current subscription plan includes it (feature is still in development at the moment). We do NOT use the user’s sales data from the agency, we value your privacy and security.

===How to work with the “Stock Files” section?===

[[File:Trend section icons eng.jpg|left]] 

:#Open the “Stock Files” section using the corresponding icon in the top left corner.

:#Click on the “Type” drop-down list and choose the content type you would like to explore.

:#Next field is used for the global search mode, while the “Search” drop-down list below is used to fine-tune the search options like looking for a files by a specific author or of a certain age.

:# “Category” drop-down list allows you to choose a category to narrow the search results further. M+ Trends will display files from all categories by default unless you choose a specific one here (e.g. Animals or Nature).

:# Content is sorted by the M+ rating (read below) by default. You can use the “Sort” drop-down list to choose another sorting order.

----

===What do those numbers and icons on the thumbnails in the “Stock Files” section mean?===
Once you get the right search options it’s time to analyze the search results. There should be a number of thumbnails to the right depending on your search options. A picture below is an example of a video file thumbnail with a legend.

[[File:Top legend eng.jpg |center]] 

There will be a green controls panel when you hover a file thumbnail with your mouse. It’s always visible on mobile devices. You can click the corresponding buttons to view the categories and keywords of this file. Clicking it again will hide it. You can select and copy the categories/keywords like any other text on a web page (Ctrl/Cmd+C on a computer, pop-up menu on mobile devices). Clicking the thumbnail itself will open the original file on Shutterstock. There will also be an icon opening the calculated file sales graph if your subscription plan includes it (this feature is still in development). Bottom panel contains information about the file’s position in the global Shutterstock database, age since it’s been approved and it’s M+ rating in stars and as a numeric value. The more the rating the more trendy the file is.

----

===What does the M+ rating show?===
The M+ rating reflects the growth rate of a file in the Shutterstock database. Higher M+ rating means the file is quite young and has a great selling potential. Any file that reaches the top 10 page or higher in the search results within its first month on sale will most likely be really successful. According to the statistics, such files get to the top 1 page within a year. During that time it will still have great sales but you won’t be able to see it unless you look through 10 or more pages of the search results. M+ Trends service allows you to find such files with ease.

==Explore Tops section==

[[Trend section icons eng.jpg|left]] 

“Explore Tops” section icon is located in the top left corner under the “Stock Files” one. In this section you can trace the most popular keywords and categories and see what files contain them.

#:Open the “Explore Tops” section by clicking the icon with a chart.

:# Use the “Type” drop-down list to select the desired content type (video, photo, vector, illustrations).

:# Files will be sorted by keywords by default, you can change it in the “Top For” drop-down list.

:# “Category” drop-down list allows you to choose a specific category that you are interested in. By default M+ Trends displays files in all categories.

''' Please note that if you have the “Category” sorting mode active the last option will not be available!'''

----

===What do numbers and icons on the thumbnails in the “Explore tops” section mean?===
Once you get the right search options it’s time to analyze the search results. There should be a number of thumbnails to the right depending on your search options. A picture below is an example of a video file thumbnail with a legend. “Top For” is set to “by tags”.

[[File:Top legend eng.jpg|center]] 

Unlike the “Stock Files” section, thumbnails in the “Explore Tops” section have no controls panel and each thumbnail contains four smaller thumbnails grouped by a unifying parameter (in this case it’s a keyword all these files have). Сlick on the thumbnail to open a collection of all content matching this parameter in the “Stock Files” section. A unifying parameter may be a category (all files belonging to the same popular category), author (all content made by the same author), etc.

==Microstock+ Trends subscription plans==
This service uses a monthly subscription model. You can find more details in the Microstock+ Trends section of our Store. To open the Store please click your current subscription plan in the top right corner. Every subscription plan includes the integrated trending indicator. There are three subscription plans at the moment:

===Novice===
Provides access to all files submitted more than a year ago and all content in the tops starting from the #20 position. This is a budget subscription plan, a nice way to become familiar with the service.

===Pro===
Provides access to all files uploaded more than six months ago and all content in the tops starting from the #5 position

===Guru===
Provides unlimited access to the database. This plan is the only one that has access to the sales graphs (this feature is still in development). It is the most efficient plan in our range because trending files can show their potential within their first 1-3 months on sale. It means the earlier you see the trend the easier it’s for you to be one of the first authors getting into the niche and to gain the biggest advantage.

This status indicates that an error has occurred during the submission process. For details visit the Upload/Submit tab and find the microstock agency with a pink colored square marker. You will see a specific error message next to it. Hover your mouse over the error message to see a proposed solution for the issue. Correct the error, change the status to Uploaded and let the M+ try to submit it again.
It's a common issue to see this status for Shutterstock if there are minor keyword issues like spam/misspelled keywords and you've disabled resolving the minor issues automatically in the Shutterstock settings in M+. In that case please enable it back and change the file status to Uploaded.

Every file passes several states between the moment it has been uploaded to M+ and the moment it gets approved on the microstock agencies. Each state is reflected in M+ interface and called "File status". This manual will help you to understand the file statuses and to solve the known issues related to them.

== Where can I find the file statuses and how can I change them? ==
File statuses are displayed in the My Files section under every thumbnail as a colored bar and in the Upload/Submit tab next to every agency name. The Upload/Submit tab allows you to review and change the selected file(s) statuses for each microstock agency. You can see more details about the statuses of the selected files there along with any related messages. 
To change a file status for an agency simply click on it in the Upload/Submit panel and select a new one from the drop-down list that will appear. Please note that you can't override some statuses manually (i.e. "Not ready" and "Out of submissions") as they are caused by some issues that need to be resolved.
The colored bars under the file thumbnails allow to get a quick grasp of statuses of all files in a folder and quickly notice any issues. By default all color sectors are ordered by the agency but you can opt for grouping them by color instead (like in StockSubmitter). To do so, deactivate the "Display statuses in the bar ordered by agency" toggle in the Dashboard section.

[[File:Start eng.jpg|left]] 

==Not ready==
[[File:Файл:Notready eng.jpg|left|400px]] 

This status means that your file haven't met one or more of the Microstock agency requirements (see the "Ready" file status). The details can be found in the Upload/Submit tab right to the Microstock agency name. Hover an error message with your mouse to see a proposed solution. Once a file will meet the requirements its status will automatically change to Ready.

[[File:Second eng.jpg|thumb|An example of solving an issue of a file that's not ready|left]] 

This status is displayed in pink color.

==A required file is missing==
[[File:Nofile eng.jpg|left|400px]] 

All vector files must be uploaded as a pair of a EPS file and a JPG preview. This applies to all microstock agencies! Otherwise the file will have the "A required file is missing" status. To solve this issue just upload a JPG preview with the same name as your EPS file (or a EPS file with the same name as your preview). A pair should get joined together automatically.

==Ready==
[[File:Ready eng.jpg|left|400px]] 

This status indicates that your file is ready to be uploaded on the microstock agency and shouldn't cause any issues during submission. It is displayed in yellow color.

=== To get the Ready status your file must meet the following conditions ===

:*A file must be uploaded to the M+ cloud storage. Any .EPS file must be paired with a .JPG preview;
:*A file must have a title, a description, categories, keywords and other metadata;
:*Metadata must comply with the Microstock agency requirements (most known issues are described below).

Please note that we can't check if you have attached all necessary releases to your files because there's no way to predict whether a file requires a release or not. 
Once a file gets the Ready status for an agency, you can upload it there. To do so, select a file (or files) you'd like to upload, open the Upload/Submit tab, select the microstock agency(ies) of your choice or check the Select all checkbox, then click the "Upload Selected" button.

[[File:Third eng.jpg|thumb|left]] 

==Scheduled==
[[File:Scheduled eng.jpg|left|400px]] 

Both StockSubmitter and M+ allow to schedule an upload to any Microstock agency and adjust the settings for this event.

To schedule an upload select a file (or files) you'd like to upload, open the Upload/Submit tab, select the desired microstock agency(ies) or check the Select all checkbox, then click the icon with a watch above the file gallery. Once a pop up appears, adjust the settings and click the "Schedule" button to proceed. Once you do so, the file(s) will be scheduled for uploading at the specified time and the bar above the file thumbnail (or a part of it) will turn light-blue.

[[File:Sched.png|thumb|How to schedule a file upload|left]] 

==Queued==
[[File:Queued eng.jpg|left|400px]] 

This status indicates that a file has been queued for an upload to a microstock agency. Microstock agencies are known for their paranoidal attitude and tend to be suspicious of multi-threaded upload. M+ imitates a behavior of a real person to not arouse any suspicion by creating a queue of files. Normally, it shouldn't take long, but a huge amount of heavy files or a high load on the agency server may cause delays. If the ETA haven't been shortening for a few hours please contact the tech support.

==Uploading==
[[File:Uploading eng.jpg|left|400px]] 

This status indicates that a file is currently being uploaded to the microstock agency(ies). It is displayed in lime color.
If an upload will be interrupted by an issue, M+ will make another attempt after a short time (the exact period is shown in parentheses below the status). Sometimes it takes several attempts to succeed and it depends on the microstock agency, not M+. Most common issues like Connection error/Maintenance should get resolved on the next uploading attempt and do not require your intervention. If this problem lasts for longer than 24 hours, please contact the tech support.

==Upload failed==
[[File:Upload failed eng.jpg|left|400px]] 

This status indicates that a fatal error has occurred while trying to upload a file. For details visit the Upload/Submit tab and find the microstock agency with a pink colored square marker. You will see an exact reason for the failure there. Correct the error and repeat an upload attempt (to do so, change the status to Ready, select the problematic agency and click the Upload selected again). If you are not sure how to resolve the error please contact our support.

==Uploaded==
[[File:Uploaded eng.jpg|left|400px]] 

This status indicates that a file has been successfully uploaded to the microstock agency but haven't been submitted yet. Please, do not confuse these two statuses! When a file is uploaded, it has arrived to the microstock agency site but it isn't in the review queue yet. This status does NOT require any actions. Usually the file appears at the microstock agency within 5-10 minutes after it has been uploaded, but sometimes it takes up to a few hours (depending on the microstock agency). After that the file will be automatically submitted within 30 minutes. 
'''Please! Be patient and do not submit the uploaded file manually if it has appeared at the microstock agency site! It disrupts the procedure and causes errors!''' 
This status is displayed in green color.

===Frequently asked questions on this step===
:*''Why a successfully uploaded file lacks a part/all metadata? Why the description and the title have been switched?'' When your file has been successfully uploaded, the microstock agency handles the file's metadata according to it's own algorithm and there's no way to affect this process. After a successful submission all metadata should appear as you have inputted it.
:*''Some of the essential metadata fields are empty/one of the essential checkboxes isn't checked. Is that a reason for a submission to fail?'' It works the other way round: the submission process has gone wrong (or didn't happen yet) and that's why some of the metadata hasn't been filled. It may be a temporary issue or just a submission delay, so, please, give M+ at least 1 hour to resolve the issue. If it takes longer though, please contact the tech support.
:*''Submission process takes too long! How to speed up the process? How to launch a submission manually?'' M+ can't force the submission process because that mostly depends on the microstock agency. If the files haven't been submitted yet then it was simply not possible. As soon as the submission will be possible M+ will perform it so please just give it some time.
:*''My files got submitted to every agency but Dissolve! What do I do?'' This microstock agency accepts files in batches only (at least 10 files per batch). Please upload more files to the same batch if there are less than 10 files.
:*''Freepik doesn't have batches but the submission doesn't happen there!'' They require you to upload at least 10 files before submitting them will be possible.

===Don't forget to check the following===
:*Have you gone over the microstock agency submission limit? Some microstock agencies like VideoHive and Bigstock have their own submission limit. Please, check if you haven't exceeded it.
:*Did you pass the exam and fill all required forms on the agency website? Some agencies may require a separate exam for every category or ask you to update your tax forms every few years.
:*Does the agency website work at the moment? Didn't they stop accepting content temporarily or permanently? We do our best to keep track of such events and display messages for you but it's still possible that we're not aware of something like that.
:*Does the file meet the microstock agency's requirements?

If all conditions were fulfilled, the submission should take 5-10 minutes after the file has appeared on the microstock agency site (in the extreme case it may take about an hour). If it's been more than an hour, all conditions have been fulfilled and submission isn't happening, please, contact the tech support.

==Submitted==
[[File:Submited eng.jpg|left|400px]] 

This status indicates that all metadata including attached release files have been delivered to your file on the microstock agency and the file itself have been sent to the reviewer. This step doesn't require any actions, just wait for the reviewer's decision. M+ overviews the approving process and will change the file status to Approved or Rejected if it is supported by the agency. A sea green indicator or a sea green bar color sector match this status.

==Submit failed==
[[File:Submit failed eng.jpg|left|400px]] 

This status indicates that an error occurred during the submission process. For details visit the Upload/Submit tab and find the microstock agency with a pink colored square marker. Hover your mouse over an error to see a solution for the case. Correct all errors if required, change the status to Ready manually, upload it on the microstock agency and try submitting it again.

==Out of submissions==
[[File:Nosubmittions eng.jpg|left|400px]] 

===If you're a free subscription plan user===
Every M+ and StockSubmitter user have 33 free submissions for each stock per notional month (30 days from the first submission). If you've noticed the status Out of submissions that means you've gone over the limit.

;There are several solutions for the case

:*Wait for the next notional month to start. Then you'd be able to use another 33 submissions on each microstock agency.
:*Purchase the payment plan. You can find more information in our store. To go to the store click on your current subscription plan in the top right corner of the M+ interface or on the Store item in the left interface menu.
:*Submit your files to iStock or MotionElements - it's free and unlimited.
:*Submit files manually without M+ or StockSubmitter. If you have it uploaded on M+ don't forget to manually change the status for these files to Submitted! To do so select the file or files, open the Upload/Submit tab, check the microstock agency or agencies, click on the file status and select Submitted in the dropdown list.

===If you're using a subscription plan===
You've gone over the limit of your subscription plan. See the details about your subscription plan in our store. To go to the store click on your current plan in the top right corner of the M+ interface or on the Store item in the left interface menu.

;There are several solutions for that case

:*Wait for the next notional month to start and you will get as much submissions as available for your payment plan. Make sure you have enough money on your balance to pay the monthly fee;
:*Purchase some submissions at retail. To do so go to the Store, click the Increase limit button and purchase as much as you need. This is a single event and doesn't affect the next notional month;
:*Purchase the more expensive payment plan with a higher limit of submissions. You only pay the difference between payment plans but used submissions remain in the account till the beginning of the next notional month. Make sure to change your payment plan back if you don't want to continue using a more expensive plan, otherwise its full monthly fee will be withdrawn of your balance at the beginning of the next notional month;
:*Submit your files to iStock or MotionElements - it's free and unlimited;
:*Submit files manually without M+ or StockSubmitter. If you have it uploaded on M+ don't forget to manually change the status for these files to Submitted! To do so select the file or files, open the Upload/Submit tab, check the microstock agency or agencies, click on the file status and select Submitted in the dropdown list.

==Submitted but missing==
[[File:Lost eng.jpg|left|400px]] 

This is a very rare status that means that your file has been successfully submitted but then disappeared from the microstock agency site. First, check has it really disappeared. If that so, please, re-upload the file on the microstock agency. To do so select the file/files, set Ready status, upload the file/files on the microstock agency as usual and wait for the submission. 
If the file appeared on the microstock agency but has Submitted but missing status in M+ please, contact the tech support.

==Approved==
[[File:Approved eng.jpg|left|400px]] 

This is the most pleasant status of all! This means that your file has been approved by the reviewer and has been put up for sale. A dark green indicator or a dark green bar color sector match this status.

==Rejected==
[[File:Rejected eng.jpg|left|400px]] 

This status indicates that for some reason your file has been declined by the reviewer. If the reason was specified on the microstock agency site it should appear in M+ interface below the status

==Ignored==
[[File:Ignored eng.jpg|left|400px]] 

===This status could mean one of the following===
:*This microstock agency doesn't accept such type of content (for example, 123RF doesn't accept video files);
:*You have manually denied uploading such type of content on this microstock agency;
:*You have manually denied uploading a selected file on this microstock agency. If you want to set Ignored status for any file just hover your mouse over an existing status and choose Ignored point in the dropdown list. You can change it later to any other available status (i.e. Ready)
A gray indicator or a gray bar color sector match this status.

===Linux users===
Download the app archive and extract it into a folder of your choice. Find the MPSyncer.UI file inside and double-click it to launch the program.

==How to work with Microstock+ Sync?==

===Logging in===
Launch the program and fill the form with your M+ email and password or sign in using an external service. If you don't have a M+ account yet - please register there first.

===Launching and configuring the M+Sync===
First time you run M+ Sync, you will have to choose or create a folder that will serve as the root for the synchronization. You can change it later, but that will restart the synchronization process from scratch (unless you move your files there first).
Once the folder is chosen or created, you will be able to configure the program using the top menu.
* Use "Account" to log out or visit the M+ store (Pricing);
* Use "Settings" to enable/disable the app autostart, change the interface language or modify the synchronization interval (in minutes);
* Use "Help" to open a support chat or to read this article (M+ FAQ).

===Working with folders===
To synchronize a specific M+ folder to a folder on your PC you can create a connection between them. In the left column (File tree) choose a folder you want to synchronize, click on the green button with a computer and a chain icon and specify any folder on your PC (or create a new one). When you synchronize a folder, all of its subfolders will be automatically synchronized so you don't have to create a connection for every subfolder manually.

[[File: Sync create connection.png|left|300px]] 

To avoid confusion and errors M+ Sync doesn't allow synchronizing two or more M+ folders into the same folder on your PC. If you try to do so, you will receive a message explaining that. In that case you will have to create/choose another folder. 
To remap a connected folder to another folder on your PC, simply click on the currently connected folder and specify another one. 

[[File: Sync change fold.png|left|300px]] 

To break a connection between folders, click the icon with a chain once so it turns into a red cross. All files that were already synchronized will remain on your PC. 

[[File: Sync deconnect.png|left|300px]] 

If you decide to re-connect folders after breaking the connection between them, M+ Sync will scan the files and update the local copy to ensure they match with the M+ version. After that it will continue the synchronization. 
To start the synchronization press the toggle to the right.

[[File: Sync process start.png|left|300px]] 
A progress bar for this folder will appear to the right. There will be also a summary progress bar at the bottom of the app window that will display the total progress and ETA for all folders currently being synchronized.
Files will be downloaded to the folder you have connected. If you're synchronizing a subfolder, a gray progress bar will appear for all folders containing it so that you won't miss what subfolders are being synchronized.
The app will keep periodically checking the M+ copy of the files for any new changes and will synchronize your local files to be up to date at all times. Interval of this check can be specified in settings as described above. 
Two right-most columns contain basic information about the folders and their content: their total size and how many files and subfolders are inside.

===Closing the app===
On Windows clicking the close button in the top right corner will minimize the program into the taskbar. To close it completely, right click on the M+ Sync icon there and choose the quit command. Please note that Windows may hide infrequently used icons if you didn't disable it so you may have to click the button to reveal the hidden icons first. Alternatively, use Alt + F4 hotkey while the program window is active.
On Mac OS X use Cmd + Q shortcut or close it in the Dock panel.

==Removing the program==
Use the standard uninstall methods to remove the program (Windows and Mac OS X) or just remove the program folder (Linux).

This status means that your file haven't met one or more of the Microstock agency requirements (see the "Ready" file status). The details can be found in the Upload/Submit tab right to the Microstock agency name. Hover an error message with your mouse to see a proposed solution. Once a file will meet the requirements its status will automatically change to Ready.

== Where can I find the file statuses and how can I change them? ==
File statuses are displayed in the My Files section under every thumbnail as a colored bar and in the Upload/Submit tab next to every agency name. The Upload/Submit tab allows you to review and change the selected file(s) statuses for each microstock agency. You can see more details about the statuses of the selected files there along with any related messages. 
To change a file status for an agency simply click on it in the Upload/Submit panel and select a new one from the drop-down list that will appear. Please note that you can't override some statuses manually (i.e. "Not ready" and "Out of submissions") as they are caused by some issues that need to be resolved.
The colored bars under the file thumbnails allow to get a quick grasp of statuses of all files in a folder and quickly notice any issues. By default all color sectors are ordered by the agency but you can opt for grouping them by color instead (like in StockSubmitter). To do so, deactivate the "Display statuses in the bar ordered by agency" toggle in the Dashboard section.

===Launching and configuring the M+Sync===
First time you run M+ Sync, you will have to choose or create a folder that will serve as the root for the synchronization. You can change it later, but that will restart the synchronization process from scratch (unless you move your files there first).
Once the folder is chosen or created, you will be able to configure the program using the top menu.
* Use "Account" to log out or visit the M+ store (Pricing);
* Use "Settings" to enable/disable the app autostart, change the interface language or modify the synchronization interval (in minutes);
* Use "Help" to open a support chat or to read this article (M+ FAQ).

===Working with folders===
To synchronize a specific M+ folder to a folder on your PC you can create a connection between them. In the left column (File tree) choose a folder you want to synchronize, click on the green button with a computer and a chain icon and specify any folder on your PC (or create a new one). When you synchronize a folder, all of its subfolders will be automatically synchronized so you don't have to create a connection for every subfolder manually.

[[File: Sync create connection.png|left|300px]] 

To avoid confusion and errors M+ Sync doesn't allow synchronizing two or more M+ folders into the same folder on your PC. If you try to do so, you will receive a message explaining that. In that case you will have to create/choose another folder. 
To remap a connected folder to another folder on your PC, simply click on the currently connected folder and specify another one. 

[[File: Sync change fold.png|left|300px]] 

To break a connection between folders, click the icon with a chain once so it turns into a red cross. All files that were already synchronized will remain on your PC. 

[[File: Sync deconnect.png|left|300px]] 

If you decide to re-connect folders after breaking the connection between them, M+ Sync will scan the files and update the local copy to ensure they match with the M+ version. After that it will continue the synchronization. 
To start the synchronization press the toggle to the right.

[[File: Sync process start.png|left|300px]] 
A progress bar for this folder will appear to the right. There will be also a summary progress bar at the bottom of the app window that will display the total progress and ETA for all folders currently being synchronized.
Files will be downloaded to the folder you have connected. If you're synchronizing a subfolder, a gray progress bar will appear for all folders containing it so that you won't miss what subfolders are being synchronized.
The app will keep periodically checking the M+ copy of the files for any new changes and will synchronize your local files to be up to date at all times. Interval of this check can be specified in settings as described above. 
Two right-most columns contain basic information about the folders and their content: their total size and how many files and subfolders are inside.

Microstock+ Sync is a software for one-way synchronization from the M+ cloud storage to your PC. The program allows you to finely select the folders you would like to keep synchronized and preserves the M+ directory structure. As long as the synchronization is active, any changes in files and metadata in the selected folders are instantly reflected on your hard drive. 
The sortware is completely free to use and runs on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

==Downloading and installing M+ Sync==
Simply click on the M+ Syncer section in the M+ interface to get to the app home page.
