I've been an exclusive vector contributor at iStock since 2006  but I'm starting to consider other options.
A few years ago I looked into contributing at SS, and at the time there was the option to open an account but not activate it.
This allowed you to upload a big bunch of images but not have them for sale until you'd completed your exclusivity cancellation.
I think after a while this option was done away with but I wondered if such a thing exists at Adobe?

I would PM Matt for the answer

We don't have this feature available. While I can understand the desire to have a seamless transition as far as timing is concerned, this could potentially harm your chances of success. If the content sits in your account with no visibility or activity, when it is pushed live, the system could potentially have pushed it deep into the search results over time.

Good luck!
