Assignee/Owner = the person responsible for adding updates to the Project Updates field. This person must have a licensed Wrike account and will receive Wrike notifications for the project.
Project Sponsor = the senior leadership manager who is responsible for the project. All senior leadership managers have licensed Wrike accounts.
IT Project Coordinator = the subject matter expert(s) for the project. A licensed Wrike account is not necessary; this is mostly an informational field.

1. Double click in the Project Updates field for the project that you want to update.
2. Type in your project update. Then click anywhere outside of the Project Updates field to save your changes.
It's recommended that you add the current date at the beginning of the project update so it is easy for others to determine when you last updated the project.

- Then click anywhere outside of the Project Updates field to save your changes.
3. Your project update is now saved. You're done!

1. Double click in the Project Updates field and highlight the existing text. Then cut or copy the text.
2. Click on the name of the project to open it.
3. Paste the comment in the comment field at the bottom of the project pop-up screen. Then click Send.

5. Click the X at the top right of the pop-up to close it.
