When you enrol people with **Verify Mode** on, Pyn creates their enrollments **Paused**: every step is held as a **Draft** and nothing sends until you release it. Needs Review is where those enrollments wait.

## Before you start

- There is at least one paused enrollment. Manual enrolment with **Verify Mode** switched on creates them; [Automations](https://support.pynhq.com/flows/automations/) covers the enrolment dialog.

## Steps

1. In Pyn, open **Activity** in the left navigation, then select **Needs Review** under **Enrollments**.

2. Find the enrollment. Each row shows the **Principal**, the **Automation** and the **Reference** date, and a **Verify** button where the progress bar would be.

3. Select the row to open the enrollment in the panel and read its **Enrollment Steps**. Select a step to preview the message as it will send. Close the panel.

4. Select **Verify** on the row. The dialog **Select messages to unpause** lists every step with its **Recipients**, the **Delivery** text and when it is **Scheduled**. A step with nobody to send to reads **No valid recipients**.

5. Every step is ticked. Untick any you do not want to send, then select **Unpause**.

> **Tip:** To release several enrollments at once, tick their rows in **Needs Review** (or the header checkbox for the page) and select **Verify selected enrollments** in the banner that appears. That schedules every step of each selected enrollment.

## What you should see

The enrollment leaves **Needs Review** and appears in **All Enrollments** as **Pending**. The steps you ticked move from **Draft** to **Scheduled** and send on their dates; a step whose date has passed sends straight away unless the automation set it to skip when overdue. Steps you left unticked stay **Draft**; scheduling one of them later, from its step page, also moves the enrollment to **Pending**. To cancel a paused enrollment instead, open its panel and select **Archive** from its menu.
