# Approve or reject a child photo

Category: Records and communication

Before you start: confirm the correct school and role. Use approved source records; perform live changes only within your assigned authority.

1. Open **Families & Communication → Media review**.
2. Confirm the exact child, classroom and photo. Check everyone visible in the frame.
3. Verify the child’s photo/video permission and applicable school restrictions.
4. Enter a review note when useful.
5. Select **Approve and share** only when ready to share with linked parents; read and confirm the child-specific prompt. Otherwise choose **Reject sharing**.
6. Wait for **Photo approved and shared with parents.** or the rejection result, then verify the record.

## Verify the result

Sharing status matches the decision; approval is a parent-sharing action.

## If something goes wrong

Wrong child, missing permission or sensitive content: do not approve. Wait for pending actions; reopen the record before retrying an uncertain save or send.
