# 4.5 Moving Photos to the Correct Photo List Category

## How to correct misfiled photos in the Pathwave app and Portal—before a photo is approved or rejected.

#### **Overview**

It is common for field personnel to accidentally capture a photo under the wrong photo requirement. Pathwave allows photos to be moved to the correct category directly from the mobile app or the web-based Portal.

Note: To maintain a clean audit trail and ensure Quality Review accuracy, **photos cannot be moved once they have been reviewed** (approved or rejected). Any photo that enters the review workflow becomes locked to preserve the chain of custody and reviewer actions.

---

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

To move a photo from the Portal:

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

- Choose the **destination photo category.**

- Confirm the action.
- The selected photo(s) will immediately move to the new category.

Note: If the **Select Destination** option is disabled when attempting to move a photo, it means the photo has already been **accepted or rejected** during a Quality Review. Once a reviewer takes action on a photo, the item becomes locked to preserve audit integrity and **can no longer be moved to a different category**.

To resolve reviewed photos that were placed in the wrong category, refer to:  
**Article 6.3 — Exception Handling for Incorrect Replacements (Re-Take Not Used).**
