The seller portal is actually great news!
By “submitting content in our catalog” i guess you mean updates and not new assets?

Both! Normally the submission flow is submission form -> Zendesk (our ticketing system) -> review -> receive files -> manual data entry into catalog -> publish. With , we’re nuking the entire manual data entry step, so every initial submission and update is essentially a reviewable entry in our catalog that goes into a special moderation queue for us.
What also lets you do is update your submission before we review it, in case you made a typo or want to swap out a screenshot, and you didn’t notice until after you submitted. You can just pop right in, make the changes, then update your submission. It’s essentially removing the entire middle layer where we make the changes you request, and letting you have direct access to it instead so you can tweak to your heart’s desire, and so we’re not a bottleneck. The web team has been doing an outstanding job on , and it’s up beautifully.
The one thing I’m still fuzzy on is precisely when the seller portal will begin to collect the actual project files. I think that’s in the second release or after. I know the idea is to eventually handle the submission within the system, but I don’t think that’s going to happen in the first release. I’ve been pretty firm about getting a seller portal out and in the Marketplace’s hands sooner rather than later, so we’ve planned some of the extra features like for later releases.
