Guest uploads: free contributor accounts, update requests and more

Guest uploads let location owners submit their own properties straight into the Super Scout Pro database of a film office, location agency, production services company or any other team that gathers locations, so nobody’s chasing photos and details by email. In this article, “you” means the team receiving the submissions, and “contributors” are the owners sending them.

Own a location and want productions to find it? Submit your location here.

We’ve rebuilt the whole system. Owners who submit a location now get their own free contributor account, so their listing doesn’t go stale the moment it’s approved, and you stay in control of every change.

A free account for every contributor

When someone submits a location to you, they can now create a free Super Scout Pro account. From there they can:

• Update their listing whenever something changes
• Push new updates to you for review
• Add new photos
• Add new information, such as access, parking or availability

They can also add more locations to the same account and submit them to other workspaces across Super Scout Pro, so an owner with several properties, or one who works with more than one film office, only has to keep one account up to date.

You review every change before it goes live

Nothing a contributor changes reaches your database until you accept it. When an update comes in, you see exactly what has changed before you approve it.

If something isn’t right, you can comment on the submission to ask for more photos, different photos or more detail. The contributor sees your comment and can resubmit.

Contributors stay in control too

Contributors can revoke or resubmit a submission at any time. If an owner sells the property or no longer wants it listed, they can take it down themselves.

When a submission gets stuck

Every submission is verified with a code sent by email. If that code doesn’t come through and a submission is left half finished, the contributor can contact you, and you can override the half-finished submission and approve it yourself. Nobody has to start again from scratch.

Your own submission terms

Every submission comes with standard terms, which mention GDPR. If you’re a US film office, or your legal team wants its own wording, you can now set custom terms for submissions to replace them.

Export everyone who’s submitted

Export the contact details of everyone who’s submitted to a CSV file in one click, ready for a mail merge in your own email software.

Who it’s for

Guest uploads are built for film offices, commissions, location agencies, production services companies and anyone else who gathers locations from owners. If you’re a location owner looking to get your property in front of productions, here’s how to submit a location.

All of this came from conversations with the teams who use Super Scout Pro every day. If something here makes your work easier, or there’s something you’d still like to see, drop us a message on WhatsApp or email us.
