Set up Manus safely for one release. Brief it on a rollout timeline, a curator list, a one-sheet and deck, and an EPK site. Check each one against your records before anyone relies on it.
What you will be able to do
- Decide whether Manus fits your release work: Learn what Manus is as of October 28, 2026, including who can get it, how Free, Pro and Team compare, and how credits get spent. Manus doesn't estimate a task's cost before it starts, so you'll plan a credit budget without one. Prices change, so you'll confirm them on manus.im/pricing.
- Set up one Project per release, safely: Write a master instruction, add only approved reference files and connect your tools at the narrowest scope that works. Unreleased masters, stems, contracts, splits, royalty statements and contributors' personal details stay out of Manus.
- Brief Manus on long, multi-step release work: Each brief names the artist's fixed element and lists the approved facts. Every missing or disputed field gets an owner. Manus has to stop before it logs in, contacts anyone, sends, posts, publishes or deletes.
- Produce four release deliverables, each with a source table: Make a backward-planned timeline with lead times cited from your distributor's own site. Then make a curator, press and venue list from public submission pages, a one-sheet and pitch deck checked against the credits sheet, and an EPK website that you publish yourself.
- Run a weekly check and work as a team: Schedule a weekly release check with Skip confirmations off. It reports overdue items, stale dates and superseded assets and messages no one. You'll share work through Team access and Guest seats, know who can see which tasks and keep your own copies of every deliverable.
- Check the output before anyone uses it: Replay the session and open every file. Trace each name and credit back to the records you supplied. Catch old dates and artwork before the public sees them, and know when a platform fault qualifies for a credit refund.
