GuestLens Moderation

For hosts

Moderation

By default, nothing a guest uploads appears in the gallery until the host approves it. This keeps blurry, private, or unwanted photos off the page and off the big screen. A host who would rather have everything appear at once can turn approval off in Event settings.

The Moderation tab with bulk buttons, photo tiles with approve and reject buttons, and a comment waiting for approval.
Host, one event, Moderation.
  1. Bulk actions. Approve all, or select several photos by tapping them, then Approve selected or Reject selected.
  2. A photo or video waiting for approval, with who sent it and when. Tap it to select it.
  3. Approve (the check) or reject (the cross) one file.
  4. Comments waiting: guests' comments on photos. Approve shows the comment under the photo. Delete removes it.

Made for a phone

Hosts often moderate on their phone at the end of a long evening, so the screen has big tiles and big buttons. It checks for new uploads by itself while it is open.

Keyboard shortcuts

On a computer, moderation is faster with the keyboard:

KeyDoes
AApprove the current photo
RReject the current photo
Arrow keysMove between photos
EscClear the selection

Words are moderated too

The same approval rule covers words. A guestbook message waits on the Guestbook tab, and a comment on a photo waits here under Comments waiting. Each tab shows a red count while something is waiting.

Rejected files are not deleted. They stay out of the gallery, and the host can still find them in the full ZIP download.
