I’m new to Pipeline TD, quite inexperienced, and honestly pretty lost about what I need to do to make the workflow run properly. I have my files in Hiero and I’m using it to export to ShotGrid. I’m using the **BASIC PTR Shot** template, setting everything correctly so the folders get created properly, and I’m sticking with the default content: - **PTR NUKE PROJECT FILE** - **NUKE WRITE NODE** - **PTR TRANSCODE IMAGE** However, inside ShotGrid (the web interface) I don’t see any link for the Compositor to open in Nuke, even after I manually generated the tasks. Can someone point me in the right direction on how to make this work? I swear I tried reading all the documentation, but it only confused me more. Unfortunately, I really need support explained as if you were teaching a child. lol ---

Hi @inconnu00 Welcome to the community. First question, are you using a pipeline config that requires the path set up in ShotGrid or are you using the standard one that ShotGrid Desktop provides (called `zero config`)? Basically, does ShotGrid desktop create folders in your project folder when you launch Nuke or Hiero? Or does it not? ---

First of all, thank you very much @Ricardo_Musch I’m using the default ShotGrid configuration, with no code modifications, following the _Getting Started_ documentation. My issue is that I have a Hiero/Nuke Studio project. I managed to publish the project, but when I try to export the shots (sequences), it just says the process completed successfully. However, when I check the logs in the Hiero Script Editor, it shows that I need to publish first. How do I automate this by default? Please forgive my lack of knowledge — I really am trying everything, reading the documentation: [Autodesk Flow Production Tracking – Learn](https://www.autodesk.com/learn/catalog/product%7Cdeepdive/Flow%20Production%20Tracking%7Ccourses%2Cmodules) Thanks in advance. ---

Can you provide some screenshots and also confim that folders are created for your base project folders when launching Hiero or Nuke? ---

Where is your Hiero project saved? Inside the Project structure?
