While you work on your idea, SimplyDo keeps track of what’s left to do: questions you still need to answer and answers that need fixing. The sidebar shows your progress section by section, and the submission checklist lists exactly what stops you submitting.

1. 1

   In the sidebar, Idea sections lists the sections of your idea. The ring next to each shows its progress: blue while questions are left, green with a tick once they’re all answered, and red if an answer needs fixing.

   Hover over a section to see what’s left in it, such as 1 required field, 1 field remaining.

3. 3

   Click Submission in the sidebar. The page scrolls to Before you can submit, which lists what stops you submitting, section by section, with the reason: Required for an unanswered question, Exceeds the word limit for an answer that’s too long, or Invalid value.

   Click Go to field next to an item. The page jumps to that question; answer it, and it drops off the checklist.

5. 5

   Fix the rest in the same way. Once nothing stops you submitting, the checklist says Ready to submit. Questions you can skip are listed as 1 field not filled in: answer them, or submit without them.

When every question is answered, the checklist just says All fields are complete, and you’re ready to submit your idea. The checklist and the progress rings only show while your idea is a draft.
