# Submissions vs demos
Source: https://docs.aden.space/docs/help/promote-grow/org-submissions-vs-demos

An organisation receives music through two separate pipelines, Submissions (artist teams on Aden pitching a track or album for a deal) and Demos (anyone, through the public portal or a connected inbox), on two boards that never mix.

## What it is [#what-it-is]

Music reaches your organisation two ways, and each has its own board.

**Submissions** (`/org/<orgId>/submissions`): an artist team already on Aden
pitches one of its tracks or albums to you for a release or a deal. The track
exists on the platform, so you get the full record: audio, artwork, credits,
assignees, and a status you move from submitted
to reviewing to signed or passed.

**Demos** (`/org/<orgId>/demos`): anything sent in from outside: your public
demo portal at `/o/<slug>/demos` (open to anyone, account optional), your demo
email address `<slug>@org.aden.space` (on as soon as the portal is on; the
address is shown at the top of the board), and any connected email inbox.
Usually a link plus a short message. Mail to that address that is not a demo
is forwarded to your submissions email, else your organisation email.

Nothing sent through the public portal ever appears under Submissions, and no
artist-team pitch ever appears under Demos. Both sit next to each other in the
Deals section of the sidebar.

Not to be confused with **Promos** (`/org/<orgId>/campaigns/promos`), which is
outbound: promo emails you send to your contacts.
