Creator submissions are package-owned. The copied core legacy field reference is useful for orientation but does not replace a newer package’s declared settings.
Step by step
- Enable the licensed Creator submissions package.
- Set application approval, guidelines, title/media requirements and maximum open submissions.
- Set external-link/pricing/communication choices using the installed package’s screen.
- Save, then test a new creator account and its review workflow.

Common questions and troubleshooting
Screen absent: its owning package may be absent, disabled or unlicensed. The supplied starter archive does not include every commercial package. Fields differ: follow the installed package’s declaration; legacy core definitions are not proof of that package’s version.
