+    3.4 Execute the `Submit New Shot` operator in the `Push` Panel (Will warn you if the shot already exists on Kitsu). This operator can optionally populate each 'Shot' with a task set to the project's default task status.
 
 >**Note**: Most of the operator are selection sensitive. So you can do these operations for a batch of sequence strips. If you have nothing selected it will usually try to operate on all strips in the sequence editor. <br/>
