   1. Go to the Homepage
   2. In the upper left, change the drop-down to Pre-Order
      
   3. Continue placing your order like normal in Adidas Click. 

Adding the Art

Since these orders will have a PO attached, please work with your Account Manager to get the correct artwork added, including images, method, location and pricing. The Account Manager will have the ability to edit an order with the PO and can confirm the order once updated. 

When adding the new art follow these steps:

1. Go to Order Entry > Edit Existing Order
2. Click Show Order Lines
3. Click the first product > Apply Design > Quick Design and swap the art with the correct artwork for the garment.
4. If other garments are getting the exact same design (same method/location/color), then please click Apply Design and type in or choose from the existing designs in the gallery. 
5. Repeat steps 3 & 4 until all art has been replaced with the correct art.
6. Review & Complete the order. It will hit the artist's queue.

Please add the art to your orders as quickly as possible to ensure on-time delivery.
