Submission Flow & Metadata Sections

Product DesignWorkflowUX

Overview

A restructured submission experience that organizes album/track metadata into clearer sections and reusable patterns.

Who it's for

Artists and labels submitting releases of any size.

Problems it solves

  • One long, overwhelming form with poor hierarchy
  • Unclear which fields were required vs optional
  • Hard to manage complex releases with multiple tracks and nuanced metadata

Key use cases

  • Artists move through logical sections (release details, tracks, rights, dates, pricing)
  • Required fields are surfaced first; optional details are hidden behind collapsible headers
  • Multi-track releases are easier to manage with per-track views and summaries
  • Better structure leads to fewer errors and faster approvals from platforms

My contributions

  • Restructured one long form into logical, sectioned workflow
  • Designed progressive disclosure for required vs optional fields
  • Created per-track management views for complex releases
  • Improved hierarchy and error handling to reduce platform rejections
