A Journee party can both post work and bid on work. Customer and vendor are activities, not separate account types. Post a Job starts the posting flow; a signed-in owner needs completed onboarding and a receipt for the current agreement before Journee allows the party to save or publish a job.
A guest can prepare a private, expiring draft in the same browser. After sign-up or sign-in and onboarding, Journee recovers that draft for the same identity and browser as an unpublished party-owned job. Review it and explicitly publish it; sign-in alone never makes a guest draft public.
Build the draft
The posting flow moves through Description, Pictures, Location, and Confirm. Use Continue and Back so the server can validate and retain each step.
Enter a clear description of the work. On a new signed-in draft, Journee saves this first so pictures have a private job to belong to.
Add pictures if they help explain the work. Pictures are optional.
Choose the service location and property type.
On Confirm, enter or correct the title and choose one or more current service categories up to the limit shown by the form. Set urgency and optional proposed dates, then review every value before selecting Publish. A saved draft remains private until this succeeds.
Categories and property types come from the current Journee catalogs. Search and select from the choices the form presents; a value retained in an old tab can be rejected if it is no longer available. Each category can be selected only once, and Journee asks for either a parent category or one of its subcategories rather than both. The current posting policy sets the maximum; Journee validates and saves the complete set instead of truncating it. Proposed dates must satisfy the current form rules, including their order and whether they are still in the future.
If the current draft allowance has been reached, use the link to the Jobs tab, resume an existing draft, or delete an unneeded unpublished draft. The limit is set by the running Journee environment and is intentionally not frozen in this guide.
Choose the service location
A signed-in customer can select an active address already saved to the party or enter a new one through the single location lookup. Journee validates saved addresses against the current party again when saving; a submitted address identifier is not authority to use another party's property.
When choosing or correcting a location, also choose an enabled property type. A supported Canadian postal code or US ZIP may be accepted as a coarse location without inventing a street address. If the lookup cannot resolve the value, use a complete supported value and try again. The public listing shows only the coarse service location, not the private street address or coordinates.
An already-published job can move to another valid service address only within the same country. Its original country-based currency remains attached to the listing.
Add and arrange pictures
Use Add Pictures or the file chooser. With browser enhancements available, you can also drop files, watch upload progress, delete pictures, and drag or use Move earlier and Move later to reorder them. Without those enhancements, save the draft first and use the ordinary upload and remove forms.
The current form is the authority for accepted image formats, file limits, and whether uploads are available. Journee processes originals privately. A picture can be waiting for upload, processing, ready, rejected, deleted, or expired; only an authorized ready derivative appears on a job page. The first ready picture in the saved order becomes the listing thumbnail. There is no separate Set cover control.
If processing fails, remove the affected entry and upload a suitable image again when uploads are available. If reordering reports that the picture order changed, refresh the manager before trying once more. Deleting or reordering is allowed only while the owned job is still a draft or an active open listing.
Review optional suggestions
For a new authenticated draft, Journee may make one automatic, policy-gated attempt to suggest an editable title and category set from the description. There is no customer AI switch and no promise that suggestions will appear. The feature can be unavailable because of current policy, usage, catalog, provider, or readiness conditions.
Suggestions never publish the job and never replace the customer's review. Correct the title and complete category set on Confirm just like any other field. Journee applies a valid suggestion as one all-or-nothing result; it does not keep only part of an invalid or stale set. A skipped, unclear, timed-out, or failed suggestion does not block ordinary posting; keep completing the form yourself.
Publish, edit, close, or expire
Publishing changes a valid private draft into an open listing and gives it the current listing deadline. While the job remains open and unexpired, its owner can use Edit Post to revisit the full confirmation flow and Add/Edit pictures to manage its media. Journee checks that the job has not changed in another tab before accepting revision-sensitive saves.
Only an owned unpublished draft has Delete draft. Open jobs do not have an ordinary delete, cancel, or extend-listing control. The owner instead uses Close Job and records Completed or Not completed. Completion claims, closing consequences, and reviews are explained in Bids, completion, and reviews.
If its deadline passes first, an open listing expires and leaves the public marketplace. Expiry does not say that the work was completed and does not create a review cycle. Closed, expired, cancelled, and otherwise terminal jobs cannot be edited or accept new pictures.
Recover from a stale or failed action
Field errors return to the relevant step with the invalid values identified. Correct those fields rather than starting a second draft. When Journee reports a revision conflict, reopen the job from the Jobs tab and apply the change to the current version.
Controls are persona- and state-aware. If Edit Post, Publish, picture controls, or Close Job is missing, first check that you are signed in as the current party owner and that the job is in the required state. After a serious submission error, reopen the canonical job page and inspect its current status before retrying; the previous outcome may be uncertain.
