+The My Contributions section is accessible from the My Workspace area, where it serves as a reference point for tracking your activities.
 My Contributions is the place where you monitor what happens after you create something in HORTUS. It is your personal follow-up area for research outputs, project pages, and metadata proposals. Instead of wondering whether your work is still a draft, already submitted, waiting for approval, or ready for reuse, you can check its status in one structured workspace view.

 The main logic of My Contributions is simple: it separates your work by type and then by stage.

-==== What it manages ====
-  * drafts
-  * submitted items
-  * approved content
-  * rejected items
-  * published outputs
+{{:hortus:publish:mycontributiontracking.jpg?600|IMMAGINE}}
 ----
-==== Why this matters ====
+====Main areas of the feature====
-  * centralised control of your work
+^ My Contributions area ^ What it is for ^ Typical user action ^
-  * visibility of lifecycle status
+| **Resources / Metadata / Projects tabs** | Separate contribution types so you can focus on one kind of entity at a time. | Move to the tab that matches the item you created or submitted. |
-  * easier management of revisions
+| **Overview cards / panels** | Give a quick visual summary of what is still draft, what has been submitted, and what may require moderation. | Use the overview first to decide where your attention is needed. |
+| **Show all links** | Open the full detailed list for one panel or one lifecycle stage. | Use Show all when you want to move from the dashboard summary into the corresponding list view. |
+| **Status filters** | Narrow the list to a specific lifecycle state such as waiting for approval or rejected. | Filter the list to focus only on the items that currently matter. |
+| **Moderator actions** | Enable authorised users to review and decide on pending contributions. | Approve or reject a contribution if you have moderation rights. |
+| **Joining project requests and invitations** | Surface collaboration-related signals linked to project participation. | Check whether your request to join a project is still pending, or whether you received a new invitation. |
-----
-==== Structure ====
+====How to read the lifecycle panels====
-Items are usually organised by:
+For each contribution type, My Contributions uses a dashboard logic based on three main panels.
-  * type (resource, project, event, metadata)
+^ Panel ^ What it shows ^ Why it matters ^
-  * status (draft, pending, approved, published)
+| **Left panel** | Items to be sent to moderation or items in the moderation queue. This area is especially relevant for authorised moderators or users with review rights. | It identifies the contributions that still need a decision step before they can move forward. |
+| **Middle panel** | Your draft items. These are contributions you started but have not yet submitted. | It helps you return to unfinished work and continue refining it before sending it into the review workflow. |
+| **Right panel** | My items — your own submitted or tracked contributions. | It helps you monitor what you already created and whether those items are waiting for approval, accepted, or otherwise progressing through the lifecycle. |
-----
-==== How to read lifecycle panels ====
+In the Projects area, My Contributions includes two additional boxes that are not simply about publication status, but about project participation and collaboration.
-Each item shows:
+^ Additional project box ^ What it shows ^ Why it matters ^
+| **Requests to join** | Requests you submitted to join a project. | Helps you see whether a membership request is still pending or has already been processed. |
+| **My invitations** | Invitations you received to join projects. | Helps you follow collaboration opportunities that other project leaders sent to you. |
-  * current status
-  * required actions (if any)
-  * history of changes
-----
+These extra project boxes make the Projects contribution area especially rich, because it combines both publication tracking and community participation tracking. It shows that projects in HORTUS are not only pages to publish, but also spaces where research collaboration is actively managed.
-==== Typical lifecycle logic ====
-  * Create item → Draft
+====Typical lifecycle logic====
-  * Submit → Pending
-  * Review → Approved / Rejected
-  * If approved → Published
-  * If rejected → revise and resubmit
-----
+A simple way to understand My Contributions is to read it as a lifecycle monitor.
-===== Moderation workflow =====
+^ Lifecycle stage ^ What it usually means in My Contributions ^
+| **Draft** | You created the item, but it is still a work in progress and not yet fully submitted. |
+| **Waiting for approval / waiting for moderation** | You submitted the item, and it is now waiting for a moderator or authorised reviewer to take a decision. |
+| **Approved** | The contribution has passed the review stage and can move into the next functional state of the platform. |
+| **Rejected** | The contribution was not accepted in its current form and may need revision before resubmission. |
-Moderation is a core feature of HORTUS.
+This lifecycle visibility is one of the strongest aspects of the feature. It gives the researcher a concrete understanding of how research data and entities evolve inside HORTUS.
-----
+====Why this feature is important for researchers====
-==== What moderators check ====
+For scholars, My Contributions is particularly reassuring because it makes platform workflows transparent.
-  * content quality
+Instead of seeing HORTUS as a place where content disappears into a black box after submission, users can see that contributions follow clear stages and that their work remains traceable. This supports confidence, autonomy, and better planning. It also encourages more active participation, because contributors can understand that their work is not lost: it is moving through a visible scholarly lifecycle.
-  * metadata completeness
-  * permissions
-  * consistency
-----
+In practical terms, My Contributions helps a young researcher to:
+   * resume unfinished work without losing track of it
+   * know whether a submitted item is still pending
+   * understand when a contribution needs attention
+   * follow project-related collaboration signals
+   * experience HORTUS as a platform with visible, governed, and structured research workflows
-==== Outcomes ====
-  * Approved → item progresses
-  * Rejected → revisions required
-----
-==== Implications for users ====
-  * publication is not immediate
-  * quality standards must be met
-  * iteration may be required
-----
-===== Best practices for publishing =====
-  * complete all metadata fields
-  * use clear and accurate descriptions
-  * attach relevant files
-  * verify permissions before submission
-  * review content before submitting
-----
-===== Summary =====
-Publishing in HORTUS is:
-  * structured
-  * moderated
-  * metadata-driven
-Users can:
-  * create multiple types of content
-  * track their lifecycle
-  * improve quality through review
