# Approving profile changes and documents

> Review changes your team makes to their personal details and the documents they upload, field by field.

When a team member edits their profile or uploads a document, nothing changes until it's approved. Open **Team Admin → Team Alerts → Personal File Changes**.

*Personal File Approvals*

The page has two tabs, each with a count: **Personal Info** for profile edits and **Documents** for uploads.

## Approve a profile change

1. **Open the request** — On **Personal Info**, each row shows the **Employee**, the **Component** changed (for example *Emergency Contacts* or *Previous Employer*) and the **Date Submitted**. Select **View** to open **Review Changes**.
2. **Compare old and new** — Each changed field is listed with its **Current Value** and the **Requested Change**.

3. **Approve or reject** — Select **Approve** to update the employee's record, or **Reject** to discard the change. You can also approve or reject straight from the row without opening it.

## Approve uploaded documents

1. **Open the employee's documents** — On **Documents**, select **View Documents** for the employee.
2. **Check each file** — Preview or download each document to check it.
3. **Approve or reject** — Approve or reject each document, or use **Approve All** / **Reject All**.

> **Tip:** Check sensitive fields — bank-related details, PAN, Aadhaar, addresses — against a supporting document before approving.
