# Review submissions

Review GIMI submissions — approve, decline, request an edit, shortlist, Spotlight, flag, and handle suspicious content.

**Submissions** is the main moderation workspace. Review it regularly while campaigns are live. Fast, fair moderation improves the creator experience.

GIMI’s AI pre-filters spam, gamed, and low-effort submissions. Remaining work still needs a human decision.

## How do I open the moderation view?

1. Open **Submissions** from the main navigation.
2. Select the campaign.
3. Choose the status you want to review.
4. Select grid view or list view.
5. Apply filters, then open a submission for a detailed review.

You may also review campaign-specific submissions from the campaign page.

### Grid view or list view?

**Grid view** shows more visual content at once — useful for images, short-form video, comparison, and finding standout work. GIMI generally recommends grid view for visual moderation.

**List view** is more structured — useful for metadata, status, large lists, and operational review.

## Can I filter submissions by TikTok or another platform?

Yes. You may be able to filter by campaign, social platform, content format, status, newest or oldest, highest earnings, Spotlighted, shortlisted, featured, or suspicious.

Example: to review only pending TikTok submissions from one campaign, open Submissions, select the campaign, choose TikTok, set status to Pending.

## What happens when I approve content?

Approval confirms the submission meets campaign requirements. Depending on setup, it may:

* Trigger an approval bonus
* Make the post eligible for performance rewards
* Add the content to the [Content Library](/gimi/for-brands/content-library-and-usage-rights.md)
* Make a contest entry eligible for judging
* Update campaign analytics

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Open the pending submission and review it against the brief.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Confirm required tags and hashtags, quality, originality, relevance, format, brand safety, disclosures, and a valid social link where applicable.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Review any fraud or safety signals, then select **Approve** and confirm if prompted.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Always review reward settings before approving — approval may trigger a payment.

## How do I decline a submission?

Decline when the work does not meet the campaign. Common reasons include missing hashtags or mentions, wrong format, poor quality, unrelated content, a broken social link, copyright concerns, inappropriate content, spam, repeated submission, fake or manipulated engagement, a late entry, or failure to follow the brief.

1. Open the pending submission.
2. Review it against the brief.
3. Select **Decline**, choose or enter the reason, and confirm.

Every decline requires a reason so creators know why the submission did not qualify. Avoid declining large volumes without considering the creator experience. Where possible, give enough information to correct avoidable mistakes.

## How do I request a content edit?

Use **Request Edit** when the content is close to the brief but needs specific changes before it can be approved.

1. Open the pending submission.
2. Select **Request Edit**.
3. Explain clearly what needs to change and confirm.

The creator is notified and can resubmit. This keeps promising work in play instead of declining it.

## What does suspicious content mean?

GIMI uses automated systems and moderation signals to identify potentially suspicious content, including spam, gamed engagement, low-effort or duplicate work, manipulated performance, irregular social activity, or content that appears unrelated to the brief.

A suspicious label does **not** always mean the creator acted maliciously. It means the submission needs extra review.

1. Open **Submissions** and select **Suspicious**.
2. Review the content and available signals against the campaign.
3. Approve, decline, or flag as appropriate.

Do not approve suspicious content purely because it has high views or engagement.

## When should I flag content?

Use **Flag** when content is inappropriate, severely off-brief, or needs extra internal attention: explicit content, hate speech, dangerous content, severe copyright infringement, impersonation, fraud, harassment, or a serious brand-safety concern.

A **decline** means the submission does not qualify. A **flag** means the content or creator may need further review.

## How do I shortlist content?

Shortlisting saves content for later. It does **not** approve the work or trigger a creator reward.

Use it when you like a submission but are not ready to decide, want to share it with a teammate, are collecting strong work, considering paid media, comparing contest winners, or reviewing in a later meeting.

1. Open the submission and select **Shortlist**.
2. Add it to the relevant shortlist where available.

Shortlisted content can be found through filters or in the Content Library.

## How do I Spotlight content?

Spotlight work that significantly exceeds the normal approval standard. Before you do, confirm it is already approved or eligible, genuinely exceptional, the Spotlight reward is configured, the campaign has funds, and the content is safe for the brand.

Spotlighting may trigger an additional creator reward. See [Rewards](/gimi/for-brands/rewards-approval-performance-spotlight-pools-and-limits.md).
