# Fixing Misplaced Photos in the Photo List

## A Guide to Moving Photos Between Categories in the Mobile App and Web Portal

Mistakes happen in the field, and photos are sometimes captured under the wrong photo requirement. Pathwave makes it easy to relocate photos to the correct category—whether you are using the **Pathwave mobile app** or the **web-based Portal**.

> **Important:** Photos **cannot be moved once they have been reviewed**. If a photo has been **accepted or rejected** in a Quality Review, it becomes locked and can no longer be edited or relocated.

---

#### **Move Photos Using the Pathwave Mobile App**

Follow these steps to relocate a photo captured in the wrong category:

1. **Open the Pathwave app** and navigate to the job.
2. Open the **photo list** and tap the photo that needs to be moved.
3. In the top right corner of the photo viewer, select the **scissors icon** (✂️).

4. A list of all available **photo categories** will appear.  
   Select the **correct category** where the photo should be placed.

6. The photo will be **moved automatically** to the selected category.

#### **Move Photos Using the Web-Based Portal**

If you're working from a browser, you can reassign photos directly from the Portal:

1. Open the job in the **Pathwave Portal**.
2. Navigate to the **Photos** tab.
3. Find the photo requirement that contains the photo captured incorrectly.
4. Select the **three dots (...)** next to that requirement.
5. Click **Move Photos**.
