## When to use this page
Use the Control Room when you need to review incoming uploads, promote highlights, or manage the Live Show queue during the event.

## Moderation basics
- **Approve** publishes a photo to the guest gallery.
- **Hide** removes it from the gallery immediately.
- **Highlight** marks the photo as featured content.

## Filters & status
- Focus on **Pending** to clear the queue quickly.
- Check **Highlighted** to confirm featured items are correct.
- Use **All** only if you need to audit older uploads.

## Live Show queue
- Approve photos for the Live Show if moderation is enabled.
- Remove items from the queue if they should not appear on screen.

### Tips
- Keep the Control Room open on a staff device throughout the event.
- If the queue grows, tighten moderation or reduce Live Show effects.
