# AI Content Approval: get your content checked before you submit
AI Content Approval is a quick, automatic review of your content **before** it becomes an official submission. It checks what you're about to upload against the campaign's brief — the quality of your media, whether your caption has everything it needs, and whether you've followed the brand's do's and don'ts.
Think of it as a friendly second pair of eyes: it catches the small things that usually lead to a revision request, so you can fix them in seconds instead of waiting for the brand to reply.
> **Note:** AI Content Approval is only available on campaigns where the brand has turned it on. If a campaign doesn't use it, you'll upload your content the usual way.

## When you'll see it
You'll go through AI Content Approval when you upload a deliverable for a campaign that has the feature enabled and your application is **accepted and active**.
It works for every content type:
- **Stories** (one or several, depending on the campaign)
- **Posts** (single image or a carousel)
- **Reels**
- **TikTok videos**
- **UGC videos**
---
## How it works, step by step
### 1. Add your content
Tap to upload the media for your deliverable.
- **Videos** (Reel, TikTok, UGC): choose one video file.
- **Posts:** add up to 12 images or media items for a carousel.
- **Stories:** add your story media. If the campaign asks for several stories, you'll add them one after another until the full set is ready.
### 2. Write your caption
For everything except Stories, you'll write your caption right on the screen.
To make this easier, you'll see quick-add buttons:
- **Add hashtags** — inserts the campaign's required hashtags.
- **Add tags** — inserts the accounts you need to tag (like the brand's handle).
- **Add a keyword** *(TikTok only)* — if the campaign suggests keywords, you'll see them as tappable chips. Tap any keyword to drop it into your caption. These are **optional** — they're there to help, and you're never required to use them.
> Stories don't have a caption step, so you'll skip straight to the check.
### 3. Tap "Evaluate"
Once your media and caption are ready, tap **Evaluate**. The AI gets to work and you'll watch the checks come in live — you don't have to wait in the dark. You'll see a progress bar, how many checks have passed or failed so far, and how long it's taking.

## Understanding your results
When the check finishes, you'll get one of three outcomes.
### ✅ Approved — ready to send
Your content passed. You'll see a green confirmation and a **Send** button. Tap it to submit your content to the brand. That's it — you're done.
Sometimes an approved result still includes a few yellow **notes**. These are minor suggestions, not blockers — you can send your content as-is, or tweak it first if you'd like.
### ✏️ Changes needed
Something didn't pass. Each item that needs attention shows:
- **What's wrong** — a short, plain explanation.
- **How to fix it** — a concrete suggestion.
- For videos, a **timestamp** you can tap to jump straight to the exact moment in your clip.
You'll also see which part of the brief the note came from, so you can double-check the original instructions.
Checks are grouped so you know where to look:
- **Quality** — things like lighting, audio, shakiness, or video resolution.
- **Brief** — whether your content follows what the brand asked for.
- **Caption** — required hashtags, tags, or wording in your caption.
### 🚫 Blocked
Occasionally content can't be evaluated at all — most often because it's **the same content you've already uploaded** elsewhere. You'll get a short message explaining why, and you'll need to use different content.

## Fixing and re-checking
The best part: fixing an issue is fast, and how you fix it depends on what went wrong.
### If only your caption needs changes
You'll see an **Edit caption** option and a **Re-check caption** button. Update your caption and re-check — this is the quick path, and it only re-runs the caption checks rather than the whole review.
### If your media needs changes
Replace the media that had the issue, then tap **Re-evaluate**. The button becomes active once you've swapped in your new version. Items you've already fixed are shown as resolved, so you can keep track of what's left.
You can re-check as many times as you need until your content is approved.
---
## Sending your content
When your content is approved, tap **Send**. Your evaluated content is submitted to the brand directly — you don't have to re-upload anything, because the app already has the version you just checked.
You'll see a green success screen confirming it's on its way. From there, tap **Done** to head back.

## Something look wrong?
If you think the AI got a check wrong, tap **Report a mistake** on the results screen and tell us what happened. Your feedback goes straight to our team and helps make the checks more accurate for everyone.
---
## Quick tips
- **Read the "how to fix" note** on any failed check — it usually tells you exactly what to change.
- **Tap the timestamp** on a video note to jump to the exact moment that needs attention.
- **Use the caption helper buttons** so you never forget a required hashtag or tag.
- **Caption-only issues are the fastest to fix** — you don't need to re-record anything.
- **Notes (yellow) are optional**; only red items block you from sending.

## Frequently asked questions
**Does AI Content Approval post my content to Instagram or TikTok for me?**
No. It checks your content and submits it to the brand for approval within Refluenced. You still publish to your social platform as usual once everything's confirmed.
**Are TikTok keywords required?**
No. They're optional suggestions to help you write your caption. You can tap any of them to add them, or skip them entirely.
**Do Stories get a caption check?**
No — Stories don't have a caption step. They're checked for quality and against the brief.
**What if my content keeps getting flagged?**
Follow the "how to fix" guidance on each note, replace or re-record the specific part mentioned, and re-check. If you're confident a check is wrong, use **Report a mistake** so our team can review it.
**Will I lose my work if I close the screen?**
Submit your content once it's approved. If you leave before sending, you may need to add your media and caption again.
