ClearView Rush is Sohonet's secure review platform for feature film and episodic content — streaming dailies and cuts in high quality, protected by studio-grade security.

## Where you'll be working

Everything in ClearView Rush lives inside a workspace — the space that holds a studio's projects and reviews and sets what each person can do. Your role in the workspace decides what you see and where you work.

Studio teams work in the main app: watching reviews, acting on the ones that need them, and creating new reviews from within the studio.

The people who supply content to the studio — production, post, and external vendors — come in through the Rush Portal. It's a focused way in for uploading footage and turning it into reviews for the studio to watch. If that's your role, the Portal is where you'll spend your time.

## Inside the main app

The left-hand sidebar moves between:

- **Screening Room** — your watching space. Lean back and catch up: what's new, where you left off, and the reviews you've saved to watch later.

- **Focus** — the reviews that need your attention: the ones waiting on you to watch, or to release to the next stage.

- **All Reviews** — the complete set: every review shared with you, in one searchable, filterable list.

If your role includes the Portal, a **Portal** link near the bottom of the sidebar opens it.

## The Rush Portal

Where suppliers upload new content, turn it into reviews, and publish it for the studio to watch.
