# When does a transaction coordination workfile get created?

Automatically. One workfile is created per property, the moment the deal exists (and by the time it is under contract), so coordination never depends on someone remembering to spin one up. You never create it by hand.

It appears on the Work Files tab in the Transactions surface (https://app.closemagnet.com/transactions), sorted with active files first and then by closing date, carrying checklist and at-risk badges. Open it to work the Checklist, Overview, Title and Escrow, Parties, Documents, and Comm Log panels; a flip file adds a Fix and Flip panel. Access is gated per member, so a teammate who is not permitted to work transactions cannot open or change a workfile.

Links to the app require your CloseMagnet login.
