Reviewing and Approving a Submission on Mobile

1. Opening Review Mode

From a push notification, the Approvals tab, or the submission inbox — tap the pending submission. The Review Mode screen opens.

2. The Three Tabs in Review Mode

Submission tab: The full checklist — every question and every answer, in order. Scroll through to review all responses. Tap into any step to leave step-level feedback or a comment if needed.

Feedback Only tab: A filtered view showing only the steps that have feedback attached — useful when reviewing a submission after requesting changes, so you can quickly see what was addressed.

Photos tab: All photos from the submission in one scrollable gallery. Tap any photo for a full-size view.

3. Leaving Step-Level Feedback

If a specific answer is incorrect, incomplete, or needs clarification, you can leave feedback directly on that step:

1. Tap the step in the Submission tab
2. Type your feedback comment on that step
3. Continue reviewing the rest of the submission
4. Your step-level comments are saved and visible to the submitter when you request changes

Step-level feedback appears in the submission report and in the PDF.

4. How to Approve

When you're satisfied the submission is accurate and complete:

1. Tap the Approve button in the upper right corner of the Review Mode screen
2. A message pop-up appears — approval message is optional, type one if you want to add context
3. Confirm the approval

The submitter receives a push notification and email that their submission has been approved. If this is a multi-layer approval workflow, the next approver is notified automatically.

Approval Is Location-Scoped

You can only approve submissions from locations in your membership. If a submission is from Store 12 and you're the District Manager for Stores 1–5, you won't see it or be asked to approve it. This is intentional — the right approver for each location handles that location's submissions.
