# Quality Review: Approve or Reject Generated Pose Sets

> Evaluate and approve or reject a SKU's five generated poses as a Review Team member, and provide actionable guidance when requesting re-generation.

Quality review is the human checkpoint between AI generation and the Listing Team. Once all five poses for a SKU have been generated, a member of the **Review Team** (or an Admin) must evaluate the complete set and either approve it for listing or reject it with guidance for re-generation. No SKU reaches the Listing Team without a passing QC decision — this gate is enforced independently of what the UI displays.

The QC decision is always a **SKU-level decision**: you pass or reject the entire five-pose set, not individual poses. This keeps the listing handoff package atomic — the Listing Team always receives all five approved poses together.

## Who can perform QC

Only workspace members with the **Review Team** role can submit QC decisions. Admins can always perform QC regardless of role. If you can see the SKU in Catalog Production but the **Approve** and **Reject** buttons are absent, your role does not include QC permissions — contact your Admin.

## Reviewing a SKU

<Steps>
  <Step title="Find SKUs awaiting quality review">
    Open **Planning → Catalog Production** and use the **Stage** filter to select **Quality review**. This narrows the list to only the SKUs waiting for your decision. Use the **Assignee** filter to see items specifically assigned to you as reviewer.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the SKU detail panel">
    Click the workflow icon on any SKU row to open the live workflow panel for that SKU. The panel loads the operational workflow for that SKU — stage history, pose versions, activity trail, and the current five-pose output — updated in real time.
  </Step>

  <Step title="View all five poses">
    In the asset viewer, all five generated poses are displayed side by side. Click any pose image to open a full-size preview. Each pose card shows:

    * The pose title and type (for example: Hero front, Professional side/3-quarter, Authoritative back, Creative Gen-Z editorial, Close-up face+detail)
    * The full prompt used for generation
    * The automatic QA status (such as Automatically verified, Requires human review, or Rejected by QA)

    Check each pose against the uploaded front and back references visible in the **Reference details** section below the pose grid.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve or reject the set">
    Once you have evaluated all five poses, make your decision:

    * **If all poses meet quality standards** — click **Approve final set**. An optional approval note field lets you add context for the Listing Team (marketplace requirements, deadline reminders, or flagged details). Click **Approve final set** to confirm. The SKU moves to **Approved** and a listing handoff package is created automatically.
    * **If any pose is unacceptable** — click **Reject and request changes**. The rejection guidance field is **required** — you must describe what failed before the rejection can be submitted. The SKU moves to **Re-generation required** and your notes are attached to the next generation job.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  When rejecting, be specific in your notes — for example, "Back pose does not match the uploaded back image; the pallu drape direction is reversed" or "Model face changed between poses 2 and 3, creating inconsistency across the set." Specific, actionable guidance produces better re-generation results than vague feedback like "doesn't look right." Your notes are passed directly as additional direction to the next GPT Image 2 generation job.
</Tip>

## Rejection and re-generation

When you reject a SKU, your written guidance becomes part of the creative brief for the next generation attempt. Here is the full cycle:

1. You click **Reject and request changes** and submit your notes (up to 4,000 characters).
2. The SKU moves to **Re-generation required** (stage 7). The QC dialog confirms: *"QC rejected. Re-generation guidance was recorded."*
3. A Creative Team member or Planning Manager selects the rejected SKU and triggers a new generation run. The original front and back references are reused; your rejection notes are injected as additional direction alongside the five-pose plan.
4. The generation job runs, producing a new set of five poses.
5. When generation completes, the SKU automatically returns to **Quality review** (stage 6) for another round of evaluation.
6. You review the new poses and either approve or reject again.

There is no limit on the number of re-generation cycles for a SKU. However, SKUs with repeated rejections may be manually escalated to **Blocked or failed** by a Planning Manager if the issue cannot be resolved through re-generation alone.

## Pose versioning

Every generation attempt produces a separate, immutable set of pose versions. The system never overwrites previous generation outputs.

From the workflow panel, you can view the full version history of a SKU to compare the current poses against earlier attempts. This is useful when evaluating whether a re-generation actually addressed your previous rejection notes.

Only the **latest approved** pose versions are included in the listing handoff package. If you approve a re-generated set, the handoff is updated to point to the new versions — the earlier rejected versions remain in history but are never sent to the Listing Team.

## QC status at a glance

The QC status shown on each work item reflects where the SKU sits in the review process:

| Status           | Meaning                                               |
| ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| **Not started**  | Generation has not completed yet; QC has not begun    |
| **Needs review** | Generation completed; waiting for a human QC decision |
| **Passed**       | Review Team approved the five-pose set                |
| **Rejected**     | Review Team rejected; re-generation is required       |

The stage filter and Kanban board use these statuses to group and highlight SKUs that need your attention.
