This integration brings a host of powerful features that will revolutionize the way you work and collaborate within the OMG ecosystem. ### **Latest updates benefits:** - **Multiple Workspaces Linked to OMG Business Areas:** Administrators can now configure multiple workspaces that are directly linked to specific OMG Business Areas, enabling you to streamline your workflow and access the tools you need with ease. - **Linking Multiple Pencil Projects to a Single Deliverable:** You can now create multiple Pencil projects with a single OMG deliverable, allowing for greater flexibility and a more comprehensive approach to your projects. - **Updated Folder Structure Aligned with OMG Hierarchy:** The integration introduces a new folder structure that seamlessly maps to the OMG hierarchy, making it easier to navigate and organise your Pencil projects. - **Launching Pencil from Any Deliverable:** With this integration, you can now launch Pencil directly from any OMG deliverable, ensuring a seamless and efficient workflow. - **Access to Previously Created Pencil Projects:** You can easily open, work, and reference past Pencil projects, further enhancing your productivity and collaboration.   Prepare to experience a new level of integration and efficiency as you leverage the power of Pencil within the OMG ecosystem. Get ready to unlock new possibilities and take your projects to greater heights. ### **Pencil Setup in OMG** 1. The first step is to login into OMG. Thereafter select 'Projects' from the 'Planning' dropdown. 2. Click the 'Deliverables' tab. Enter all deliverable details including a brief. 3. Once your deliverable is setup, you now have the ability to use Pencil to create content. **Key pre-requisites to get started:** 1. A Pencil workspace must be established. 2. OMG must be configured to link the business area to the Pencil workspace. > Ensure you have access to the Pencil workspace: > > - OMG does not automatically grant access to the Pencil workspace for users creating projects or content.  > You must have prior access. > - For access inquiries, contact [omgsupport@oliver.agency](mailto:omgsupport@oliver.agency) ### **Launching Pencil** First open your deliverable and choose **'Pencil'** from the **‘Actions’** menu. If you do not see the **'Launch Pencil'** link - contact OMG Support. Once you have linked a deliverable to Pencil and selected a **'Workspace'** the entire OMG project is now tied to that Pencil workspace. This is done to ensure financial reporting aligns to the project's billing entity. ![](https://cdn.elucidat.com/64d0962075548/media/865f7b595e219ab1157a01c00461682e.png) If the project hasn’t already been setup in Pencil, you will need to choose a **'Magic Tool'** to start the integration. **Workspaces** Once the **'Workspace'** has been set, it can't be undone - so proceed with caution.  Based on the configuration of the business area, you'll be presented with a list of workspaces. Choose your workspace for the project you are working on (you will only be able to see those workspaces you have access to). ![](https://cdn.elucidat.com/64d0962075548/media/8596b8bb33a79950a1e00df2314aa8f7.png) Select the relevant workspace. You will then be presented with a list of available **'Pencil Project Types'** based on the workspace you've selected. If the project has already been setup in Pencil, you just choose which element you want to work on (or create new if needed) ![](https://cdn.elucidat.com/64d0962075548/media/7304e2aefb687608d950be8710f4c813.png) ### **Magic Tools** These four options are the same options available in **Pencil under 'Magic Tools'.** ![](https://cdn.elucidat.com/64d0962075548/media/43dfb8db89f68b005a485453cd9cfbc3.png) This is your opportunity to choose a unique name to identify this project within Pencil. OMG/the integration will automatically add the deliverable number prefixes for you. It’s recommended that if you're creating a project for a specific purpose, such as exploring **'Creative A'**, you should name it accordingly. ![](https://cdn.elucidat.com/64d0962075548/media/904bb9c1735e227056fa0316de0e3c1a.png) After creating your project, **a new browser tab** will open, taking you directly into Pencil. If you **aren’t logged in, you’ll be prompted to sign in.** Once logged in, return to the **Deliverable Details tab** and select the '**Launch Pencil'** option again. You’ll then see the **project** you’ve just created. ![](https://cdn.elucidat.com/64d0962075548/media/da787da0a1876c4efa99c9aeeef77eeb.png) You can continue by creating your **assets** under the linked project. ## **Approvals** In OMG, once the assets are added you can click the **'Export'** option that will export the asset to OMG. Please note the **'Export'** function is currently only available for the **'Chat to Ads'** option. ![](https://cdn.elucidat.com/64d0962075548/media/5c54593184dc601664bea8e72d309ce0.png) Once the assets are added to the **'Deliverable Assets'** section, you can select **'Send for Approval'** from the **'Actions'** drop-down. ![](https://cdn.elucidat.com/64d0962075548/media/7bc77f1868693376fe152d4ae535ae7f.png) ## **Want to learn more?** [![](https://cdn-assets.productfruits.com/c442c73d-c8e0-4003-a6d6-639216bedbfe)](https://insidersacademy.learn.link/content/6729e308b60a2800116b7618)
