 ====How to read the lifecycle panels====
-====Typical lifecycle logic====
+For each contribution type, My Contributions uses a dashboard logic based on three main panels.
-====Why this feature is important for researchers====
+^ Panel ^ What it shows ^ Why it matters ^
+| **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. |
-For scholars, My Contributions is particularly reassuring because it makes platform workflows transparent.
-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.
-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
+In the Projects area, My Contributions includes two additional boxes that are not simply about publication status, but about project participation and collaboration.
-==== What it manages ====
+^ 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. |
-  * drafts
-  * submitted items
-  * approved content
-  * rejected items
-  * published outputs
-----
+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.
-==== Why this matters ====
-  * centralised control of your work
+====Typical lifecycle logic====
-  * visibility of lifecycle status
-  * easier management of revisions
-----
+A simple way to understand My Contributions is to read it as a lifecycle monitor.
-==== Structure ====
+^ 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. |
-Items are usually organised by:
+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.
-  * type (resource, project, event, metadata)
+====Why this feature is important for researchers====
-  * status (draft, pending, approved, published)

-==== Typical lifecycle logic ====
-  * Create item → Draft
-  * Submit → Pending
-  * Review → Approved / Rejected
-  * If approved → Published
-  * If rejected → revise and resubmit
-----
-===== Moderation workflow =====
-Moderation is a core feature of HORTUS.
-----
-==== What moderators check ====
-  * content quality
-  * metadata completeness
-  * permissions
-  * consistency
-----
-==== 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
-  * disseminate research outputs effectively
