Every match opens into a full idea page: a plan for something you could make together, written by Soul for the people on it. Open it with Get Details on a match card in [Matches](https://bringsoul.life/co-creation). ## When to use this - A match caught your eye and you want to know if it's worth a conversation. - You want the numbers, the format and a possible venue before saying hello. - You want to jot down what you'd need to say yes. ## While it's being written Soul starts writing the full page the moment a match is made. If you open it early, you'll see it being written (_"Reading the idea…"_, _"Weighing both audiences…"_, _"Pricing it out…"_) and a first look with _"Why this is worth your time"_, _"The idea so far"_ and _"Where you would start"_. A counter shows _"2 of 6 parts written"_. You don't have to wait: _"Everything below is already true — and you do not have to wait for the rest to say hello."_ Click Back to your matches and it keeps writing. If it fails (_"Soul could not write this one up"_), click Try writing it again. It writes from scratch, so give it a minute. ## Read the idea | Section | What's in it | | --------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Header | The format, the title, and what it could bring each person: _"An estimate of what the people on this idea could bring, from what they have told Soul and what it can count."_ | | Why this is worth your time | The reasons, written to you. Your co-creator sees their own reasons. | | How It Would Run | The plan and a numbered run of show. | | The Money | A suggested price and a suggested split between the people on it, shown as percentages. See [Plan the money](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/audience/co-creation/plan-the-money). | | Where it could happen | Real venues near you, or an outdoor option. Still looking? _"It will fill in on its own."_ | | When It Could Happen | Suggested windows and dates. | | Taking Payment | How to sell it on Soul, with a button into the right part of your dashboard. | Each section folds to a one-line summary. Open the ones you care about. ## The side panel: who and what next - Co-creator suggestions: _"Soul suggests Maya. The idea is yours either way."_ Click a person to see their profile. - Say Hello: start a conversation with the suggested co-creators who are on Soul. See [Say hello to a match](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/audience/co-creation/say-hello-to-a-match). - Reach out: shown instead for a suggested person who isn't on Soul yet. It emails them the idea. See [Invite someone to an idea](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/audience/co-creation/invite-someone-to-an-idea). - Invite someone else: _"Know the person you want for this? Bring them in instead."_ - Your notes: private, saved as you type. _"What you would want to lead, what you are unsure about, what you would need to say yes."_ Only you can see them. - Save For Later: adds it to the Saved filter on Matches. - Not This Idea: marks it Not interested and takes you back to Matches. It stays in your list; undo with the thumbs on its card. ## When an idea is shared with you If another Luminary says hello to you about an idea, it opens from your conversation. You'll see _"Who shared this idea"_ with their profile and Continue the conversation, instead of the owner's controls. The idea doesn't join your own Matches. ## Tips - Read Why this is worth your time first. If those reasons don't ring true, it's probably not the one. - Treat numbers and venues as a starting point. They're Soul's estimates from what you've both told it, not quotes. - Write your notes before you say hello. They're a good draft of your first message. ## Related - [Say hello to a match](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/audience/co-creation/say-hello-to-a-match): Start the conversation. - [Plan the money](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/audience/co-creation/plan-the-money): The split, the price and taking payment. - [Invite someone to an idea](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/audience/co-creation/invite-someone-to-an-idea): Bring in someone who isn't suggested or isn't on Soul. - [Your monthly matches](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/audience/co-creation/your-monthly-matches): Back to the list.
