# Selling items

> Create, price, and publish your templates and assets — files and previews, licenses and pricing, discounts, changelogs, and the review process.

Once you're an approved author, you can publish items for sale. Here's how the item lifecycle works.

## Creating an item

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start a new item">
    In your author workspace, create an item and choose its category. The category determines the required files and available options.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add files & previews">
    Upload the deliverable files buyers receive, plus a **preview** (video, audio, or image) and screenshots so buyers know what they're getting.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Write the details">
    Add a title, description, tags, and support instructions. Clear descriptions and good previews sell more.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set pricing & licenses">
    Set prices for the license types you offer (Regular and Extended). You can mark an item free if you choose.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Submit for review">
    Submit the item. A reviewer checks it before it goes live to keep quality high.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## The review process

Every new item and update is reviewed before publishing:

* **Approved** — your item goes live and is available to buyers.
* **Needs changes** — you'll get feedback; make the fixes and resubmit.

<Tip>
  Match your files to the category's requirements and provide a strong preview — items that clearly show what buyers receive get approved faster.
</Tip>

## Updating & maintaining items

* **Updates** — publish a new version; buyers can download the latest. Changes to a live item go through review as an update.
* **Changelogs** — record what changed in each version so buyers know what's new.
* **Discounts** — run time-limited discounts to boost sales.
* **Stats** — track views, sales, and downloads for each item.
