Welcome to the Design Manager
The Design Manager helps you stay informed about your project(s) at all times; you can use the Design Manager 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Design Manager allows you to:
- follow the status of your project(s)

- view designs, provide feedback, and submit approval
Using the Design Manager, you can also easily request updates to your Web site.
If your Design Specialist needs content from you or has a question, you are notified through the Design Manager. You can send a message and/or upload content and send it directly to your Design Specialist.
If your Design Specialist is ready for you to review a design concept, they share it with you through the Design Manager. You can view the design and easily submit your approval or constructive comments.
