Review draft changes (pending actions)

Last updated: June 19, 2026

Where: Review draft changes — from a job's Candidates header, or by clicking the "draft changes" count on a Kanban column. It opens the Reviewing draft changes screen.

This is the safety net between moving candidates and actually committing those moves. Because the Kanban stages changes instead of applying them instantly, you get a single screen to look over every proposed move and every message before anything reaches a candidate — no accidental sends, no half-finished notes going out.

When you move candidates on the Kanban, each move becomes a draft stage change — together with any message that was drafted for the candidate (based on the stage's Notify candidate setting). Nothing is applied or sent until you confirm it here.

The screen

Filter by Job, and within a job by Current stage.
The left list groups draft changes by their target stage (shown as → "Stage name"), so you can review all the "moving to Interview" candidates together.
Select one to review it: you see the candidate (opening on their Evaluation) next to the proposed change and its drafted message — enough context to decide without leaving the screen.
Go to Kanban takes you back to the board.

Acting on draft changes

Select one or more, then:

Review changes — review and confirm them: the stage moves are applied and the messages are sent. This is the commit step.
Discard — drop the selected draft changes (the candidates stay where they were).
Update drafts — regenerate/update the drafted messages for the selected changes, handy when you've tweaked a stage's settings or just want a fresh take.

Good to know. Read the drafted message before confirming — it's a strong starting point, but it's yours to edit. The point of staging is that you decide what a candidate hears, every time.
