You can't edit this. It's worked out from timestamps —
47 of 49 rewards delivered, 11 days average. Members see it before
they apply, which is exactly why it's worth having.
2 outstanding, both under 14 days. Nothing overdue.
Approvals
Proof your squad submitted.
Approving awards the Hype straight away. It lands in the ledger and
can't be edited afterwards — only reversed, which the member sees.
Members
148 people who talk about your books.
Readers waiting to hear from you. Accepting adds them straight away and
emails them; declining also emails them, because being left guessing is
the thing readers complain about most.
Team & permissions
Who can do what.
Give your assistant exactly what they need and nothing else. Every
switch here is enforced by the database, not just hidden in the
interface.
Only you can change these. Not admins, not assistants — the rule
lives in the database, so even a bug in the site can't hand out
permissions. And never share your password: add people here instead.
Sign-in alerts. We record the place and device for every sign-in to
your account and email you about unfamiliar ones. You can end any session
from your security settings.
Calendar
Build next month before it arrives.
Drafts are invisible to members until you publish. Attach a folder to a
day and the assets appear right there when they open it.

There is no box here for reviews. Not hidden — it doesn't exist.
Amazon prohibits incentivized reviews and authors have lost titles over
it. Any task you write mentioning reviews or ratings is held before it
can go live.

Cancelling switches off auto-renewal — one click, right here, no
phone call. You keep everything until the period you've paid for ends. The
current period isn't refunded, and you can switch renewal back on any time
before it runs out.

at any point until the hold runs out.

Check the link before approving. For an author, does the retailer page
show the pen name? For an event, does the ticket link actually sell
tickets to the event on the website?
