# Approvals

> Review and approve or reject item and category submissions from vendors.

When a vendor adds or changes an item or category, the change is sent to you as a submission. It does not go live on the vendor's menu until you approve it. The **Approvals** page, under **PLVR Tap** in the event sidebar, is where you review these. It only appears for events with PLVR Tap enabled.

The sidebar item can show a badge so you can see when submissions are waiting.

## What you see

Each row has three parts.

* **Submission:** the item or category name with a status tag, the submission type, the Item ID or Category ID, who submitted it (vendor name, with an **Inactive** tag if the vendor is inactive, plus the login code used), when it was submitted, and the Submission ID.
* **Review Details:** what was submitted. For a new item or category you see the submitted values (image, name, price). For an edit you see only the fields that changed, with **Current** and **Requested** values side by side. Click an image to enlarge it.
* **Actions:** **Reject** and **Approve** buttons, shown on pending submissions only.

### Submission types

**Create Item**, **Edit Item**, **Create Category**, **Edit Category**.

### Statuses

| Status | Meaning |
| - | - |
| **Pending** | Waiting for your review. |
| **Approved** | You approved it. Review Details show when and by whom. |
| **Rejected** | You rejected it. The reason you gave is shown. |
| **Withdrawn** | The vendor withdrew it. Shows when and with which login code. |

## Find submissions

By default the page shows **Pending** submissions. Narrow the list with:

* **Status:** Pending, All Submissions, Approved, Rejected, or Withdrawn.
* **Type:** All Types, Create Item, Edit Item, Create Category, or Edit Category.
* **Vendor:** All Vendors or a single vendor.
* **Search** by name, item ID, category ID, or submission ID.

The list is paged, 10 per page, and tells you the total and the sort order.

## Review a single submission

**1. Check the details**

For edits, compare Current with Requested.

**2. Approve or reject**

* Click **Approve** and confirm. This creates the item or category using the submitted values, or applies the requested changes.
* Click **Reject**, enter a **Rejection Reason**, and click **Reject Submission**. The reason is required (up to 500 characters) and is shown to the vendor.

## Review in bulk

Tick the checkboxes on pending rows (or the checkbox in the header to select all pending rows on the page). A bar appears with **Reject Selected** and **Approve Selected**.

* You can select up to 50 submissions at a time.
* Bulk reject asks for one reason, which is shown on all selected submissions.
* If some submissions can't be processed (for example because they changed in the meantime), the confirmation message tells you how many were skipped.

> [!TIP]
>
> Submissions from inactive vendors stay listed and reviewable. Check the **Inactive** tag before approving.
