Before you start
You need access to the project. Your MSP controls project visibility and permissions. Internal updates are excluded from Company views, so your list and tab count can differ from an MSP staff member’s.Read an update
1
Open Updates
Find Weekly Updates in the project workspace. Updates are ordered by Week Of, with the newest reporting week first. Latest identifies the first update in that list.
2
Expand a row
Select a row or its expand arrow to read the full summary. A shortened summary in a wide-screen row is only a preview.
3
Review the sections
Read Completed This Week, Coming Up Next, Risks & Concerns, and Decisions Needed. Sections with no entries may be omitted from the reader view. The colored numbers beside a wide-screen row count entries in these sections, not tickets or hours.
4
Act on requests separately
A decision bullet is a progress note, not a response button. Open Decisions to inspect any related request. Follow Respond to project decisions and action items when a pending item is assigned to you.
If something is missing
- No updates yet: the MSP may not have added any updates visible to your account. This does not mean that no project work has happened.
- The expected week is not first: expand the relevant reporting week. Editing an older update does not make it the newest week.
- A decision has no response button: a bullet alone does not assign someone. Ask the MSP to check the related request and its assignees.
- You need a correction: contact your MSP; Company admins do not manage update editing or user permissions. To open support, start with the Home AI Assistant.
