# Content Moderation

This page allows you to control how photos uploaded by your customers are handled, giving you the choice between automatic publishing or manual review. 

By default, the manual photo management is available for every Customer Photo Uploader client.  To utilize the Automatic photo approval functionality, the store's plan is supposed to be **Growth.**

#### Automatic photo approval

This section allows you to enable the automatic publishing of the uploaded photos to your galleries by your customers. It saves your time and provides an opportunity to focus on other important business processes.

**Enable the auto-approval**

* When **ON**, all photos uploaded by your customers will be automatically published to your store's galleries straight away, skipping the moderation step.
* When **OFF**, all submitted photos will be held for manual review. You will need to approve each photo from the moderation queue before it appears in your public galleries.

After turning on the photos' auto-approve function, make sure to also enable the summary email notifications about this feature's performance in the [Email Notifications](/user-manual/app-pages/settings/email-notifications.md) tab.
{% endhint %}

On the [Photos page](/user-manual/app-pages/photos.md), we've defined the manually approved photos with the **Approved** status and the automatically approved with the **Auto-approved.** These statuses let you filter more easily which you need to review in case of any suspects, and which have already been approved by you or your team manually.

### Upload data settings

This setting allows you to view and manage more data about the uploaded photos in your Admin part of the application. It includes the information from the Description and Email fields that your customers fill out while uploading the photo.

After turning the toggle on and saving the changes in the top bar, you can return to the Photos or Galleries pages, where you'll see a new option of the info shown for you about the particular image.
