Review Queue

Your inbox for pending assets. Review everything in one place, move fast with keyboard shortcuts.

Opening the queue

Click Approvals in the sidebar. The review queue shows all assets with a Pending Review status across the workspace. The most recently submitted items appear first.

Each item shows a thumbnail, the asset name, who submitted it, when it was submitted, and any note the creator attached. Click an item to open the full preview with side-by-side comparison of the original and processed versions.

Filtering

Use the filter bar at the top to narrow the queue:

  • Status - Show only Pending, Approved, Rejected, or all.
  • Submitted by - Filter by the person who submitted.
  • Folder - Show assets from a specific folder or collection.
  • Date range - Find submissions from a particular period.

Filters combine with AND logic. Setting "Status: Pending" and "Folder: /products" shows only pending items inside the products folder.

Bulk actions

Select multiple items with the checkboxes (or press Shift + click for a range) and use the toolbar that appears:

  • Approve all - Approves every selected asset in one click.
  • Reject all - Opens a dialog to enter a single rejection reason that applies to all selected items.

Bulk approve is handy when you have a batch of similar images (like 20 product photos with the same background replacement) and you have already spot-checked a few.

Keyboard shortcuts

The review queue supports keyboard navigation so you can fly through a stack of pending assets:

jMove to the next item in the queue
kMove to the previous item
aApprove the current item and advance to the next
rReject the current item (opens the rejection reason dialog)
EnterOpen the full preview for the selected item
EscClose the preview and return to the queue list

The typical flow: press j to step through items, Enter to inspect one closely, a to approve. You can clear a queue of 50 items in a couple of minutes.

Rejection reasons

When you reject an asset, you must provide a reason. Be specific. "Doesn't look right" is not helpful. "Background color should be #F5F5F5, not white" tells the creator exactly what to fix.

Rejection reasons are visible to the original creator and any Admins. The creator gets a notification with your feedback and can revise and resubmit.

Submission specs

Admins can set submission specs on a per-folder basis. These are requirements that assets must meet before they can be submitted for review:

  • Minimum dimensions - For example, at least 2000x2000px for product images.
  • Allowed formats - Restrict to PNG and JPEG only, or allow WebP and AVIF too.
  • Maximum file size - Cap at 10 MB to keep your library manageable.

If an asset does not meet the specs, the Submit button is disabled and a message explains what needs to change. This catches issues early so reviewers do not waste time rejecting images for basic spec violations.
