Approvals & gates
A gate is a stage that will not advance until you say so. Six of the seven stages can be gated, and you choose which per channel.
The approvals inbox, the three actions, and what each does to a run — including how a request-changes note reaches the agent.
The three actions
- Approve
- Accept the stage and start the next one. The button names what happens next, e.g. “Approve → write the script”.
- Request changes
- Send the stage back to its own agent with a note. The run does not restart; only that stage is redone, with your feedback applied.
- Reject
- Stop the run. Use it when the video is not worth continuing rather than when one detail is wrong.
The approvals inbox
Approvals collects every waiting checkpoint across all your channels into one queue, oldest first, with how long each has been waiting. Selecting an item shows the same stage content the pipeline screen would, with the same three actions — so a morning of reviewing never needs the channel picker.
Choosing your gates
Channel settings → Approval gates has a switch per stage: Brainstorm, Teaser, Script, Direction, Production, Post-Production. Turn one off and the run passes straight through it. A channel with every gate off runs hands-free from prompt to finished video.
