Where to Find the Request Edit Now Button
New to MarketScale and just trying to locate the button? Here's the quick path:
Click the Upload button to upload your content.
Approve your video, or have it approved by someone with approval access.
Once approved, you'll get an email confirming approval with a link to the video. You can also find it using the search bar inside MarketScale and also in "My Media".
Open your video and click the Media Studio button in the bottom right corner of the media card.
In the top right corner of your screen, under the Comments button and next to Mark completed, you'll find Request Edit Now.
For the full walkthrough, uploading, filling out the brief, and submitting, see Request Edit Now: How to Send Content for Editing.
Can see where the button should be but it's not there? Keep reading, the rest of this article covers the most common reasons why.
Why the Button Disappears
The Request Edit Now button only appears on videos that haven't been edited yet, specifically on the original raw version. Once a video has been through an edit cycle, the button is replaced by Request Revision instead. So if you're not seeing it, the most common reasons are:
1. The video has already been edited (status: Edited or In Editing)
Once your video has been sent for editing, Request Edit Now is no longer available on that version. Depending on where things stand:
Status is "In Editing". An editor is actively working on it. You'll be notified by email when the edited version is ready. At that point, open it in Media Studio and use Request Revision to send any changes.
Status is "Edited". The edit is done and waiting for your review. Open Media Studio and use Request Revision to request further changes, or Mark Complete if it's ready.
2. The video is marked Complete
Once a video is marked Complete, either by you or automatically after 14 days of inactivity, neither Request Edit Now nor Request Revision will appear. The video is considered finalized.
Your options from here:
reach out to your MarketScale lead to reopen the video, we can unlock it so you can request further edits on the existing version.
Duplicate the raw media, click the ellipsis (…) menu on the media card, select Duplicate RAW Media, then open the new copy in Media Studio and click Request Edit Now. Include a note linking to the original so the editor has context.
3. You're viewing an older version
Media Studio shows multiple versions of your video in a ribbon at the top. Request Edit Now only appears on the Original version. If you're viewing an edited version, switch to Original using the version ribbon, though keep in mind, if the video has already been through editing, you'll want to use Request Revision instead.
