What's the difference between skipping a collab and withdrawing?

Part of: Questions others asked too

The moment you do it.

Skipping happens before you apply. You let us know this collab isn't for you, and you hear nothing more about it. Nothing was ever set in motion, so there are no consequences.

Withdrawing happens after you've applied — or even after you've been selected. That one is final straight away: we can't undo it, not even if you change your mind an hour later. You'll find the withdraw link in the status card on the collab page.

For the brand, that difference matters. Nobody notices a skipped collab. A withdrawal after selection means a spot opens up that we have to fill again, and that the brand was counting on someone. If you can no longer take part, tell us as early as you can — nobody minds, late is the only thing that's awkward.
