Each row shows the brief's access, when it expires, when it was created, how many posts it covers, and how many times it has been viewed.

You can also find briefs from the team home page. Click Activity, select the Briefs filter, then click Open brief.

What recipients see

When someone opens the link, Siftsy shows a short intro, such as "Siftsy Marketing shared a Siftsy brief with you". Recipients click Dive in to open the brief.

The brief opens as a read-only page. A banner at the top reads "Siftsy Marketing shared this Siftsy brief with you", followed by a short description of Siftsy. The brief name appears as the title, with the account, post count, date range, and Date Prepared below it.

Recipients can explore:
