# How approving work with a passkey works

When you accept a konnektsi quote, your phone saves a passkey for that job. Approving the preview, asking for a change or rejecting it only works with that passkey, so nobody can approve by sending a text that says "yes".

## The review page
You get a link to the review page with the preview. Approve it, describe one change (included), or reject it by naming the checklist item it missed. If you reject the preview, only the quote's kill fee (at most half the price, and it can be $0) goes on your tab.

## The 48-hour rule
No answer within 48 hours of the preview text counts as approval, and 24 hours after a change. The review page shows the exact deadline. konnektsi queues one reminder text about 20 hours before it, but it's sent from the freelancer's Mac, so it can arrive late or not at all.

## If you text STOP
Texting STOP turns off texts from the freelancer's AI. A preview still waiting for your answer is then not approved by silence: it waits for your passkey, or is canceled at no charge a week after the deadline.

## Treat quote links like payment links
Once your card is saved, anyone who opens one of your quote links can accept that quote, so don't forward them.
