How to know when articles are no longer exclusive to buyers

Hello,

I'm a new member and I have a question about writing articles directly to requests.

I wrote an article for a request. When it was accepted, I got an email notification that stated, "The article will remain exclusive for the request during a 3 days period.

If the customer decides against purchasing this article, we automatically put your article into our listings of available articles."

Its been 3 days and I haven't heard anything. Can I assume that my article is now in the listings of available articles?

How do I know when the exclusive viewing period ends and my articles has been moved to the public forum?

Thank you.

Jeannie

If you click on My Profile and see the article listed, it is in the general pool. If not, it's still considered exclusive and will likely be released soon. I'm not sure when the clock starts ticking - for example, I don't know if the 3-day period starts the moment the article is accepted or if there's a cutoff time such as "on the third day at midnight Pacific Time.
