## **📋 Overview**

When you submit a Press Release or Digital PR campaign through the **Authority Building** section of Search Atlas, you can track exactly where your content has been published — and see any refund details if a channel was unable to complete distribution.

## **🔍 How to Check Your Distribution Status**

1. Log in to your **Search Atlas** account.
2. Navigate to the **Authority Building** section from the main left-hand menu.
3. Select **Press Releases** or **Digital PR**, depending on the campaign type you submitted.
4. Locate the campaign you want to review and click on it to open the detail view.
5. Scroll to the **Distribution Status** section to see a breakdown of each publication channel.

## **📡 Understanding Per-Channel Publication Status**

Each distribution channel in your campaign will display one of the following statuses:

- **Published** — Your content was successfully distributed and is live on that channel.
- **Pending** — Distribution is still in progress for this channel. Allow additional time for it to update.
- **Failed** — The channel was unable to publish your content. See the refund section below for next steps.

## **💰 Refunds for Failed Channels**

If one or more distribution channels fail to publish your content, Search Atlas will issue a partial refund corresponding to the value of the failed channel(s). You can view the refund amount directly within the campaign's detail view under the **Refund Summary** section. Refunds are applied back to your Search Atlas account credits automatically — no additional action is required on your part.
