Photo review is a creative review step, stakeholders (whether team members or clients) can approve, reject, or swap out images as needed. Once an image is approved, it moves seamlessly to the next step. If an image is rejected, feedback can be added to guide the reshoot, complete with markups and annotations.
Access “Photo Review” under the Tasks tab. Here, you’ll see a Kanban board with columns for To Do, Doing, and Done—everything is laid out to keep workflows visible at a glance.
To Do: Find unassigned tasks here. Simply click Pick to assign a task and then Start to begin the review.
Doing: Tasks move here when in progress. Once a review is complete, it shifts automatically to Done.
Done: Completed tasks await your next action.
Note:
Only Account Owner and Admin users are able to release the assigned tasks.

How to approve with instructions for the next post-production step
With Creative Force, you can add notes and markings directly on images for the Post-Production team.
Note: Instruction notes are only available if your workflow includes a post-production step.
To approve an entire set of images, click Continue in the top right corner to move everything forward in the workflow.
To add specific instructions, select an image and press ALT + I, right-click, or use the three-dot menu to choose Mark all for instruction. Then, click Continue to move to the next step.
On the markup screen, add or refine markings and notes for the Post-Production team. Here, you can edit any instructions or markings made in earlier steps, such as pre-selection in Kelvin or Final Selection. If a comment is tied to a marking, you can delete the marking and choose to keep or remove the comment as needed.
How to reject and add instructions and markings
To reject an entire suite of images, click Reject.
You’ll enter the markup screen, where you can leave notes and markings detailing why the images were rejected. When finished, click Continue. The task will move back to the Photography step and will no longer appear in Photo Review.
Note: Each annotation note or comment is limited to 512 characters.
How to replace an image
If specific images don’t meet standards, you can replace them with an Alt or update the selection by uploading directly from your computer. Ensure Alts are enabled in your workflow first; Alt images should be uploaded during the Photography step.
To upload additional images, click Upload Files. To select a different image from the Alts, click Update Selection. Supported file types include JPG, JPEG, PNG, PSD, TIF, TIFF, CR2, CR3, CRW, NEF, NRW, PDF, EPS, and ARW.
