In order to mark requests as curated, you will need editing privileges on the sheet. Sign into your Google account and request access to the sheet, and you'll receive editing privileges shortly!


Completing Requests

  1. Find a request you would like to work on in the Requests List. You can use the links on the "Read this, please" tab to quickly jump to a filtered version of the sheet.
  2. Use the link provided in the request to locate the game/animation and curate it. Follow the Curation Format guide and submit your zip file in the Flashpoint Discord server.
  3. After you've submitted the game/animation, return to the Requests List sheet and change the cell for that request's "Curated?" column to Yes.
    • To do this, click the cell once to select it, then type "Yes" and press Enter.


Editing Requests
