When staff swap shifts between themselves, you can see the status of every request here.

4. The badge on the right shows where the swap is up to: "Awaiting colleague" while the other staff member hasn't yet accepted, or "Approved" once it's confirmed.

5. Approved swaps show a note confirming cover was checked and there are no rota conflicts, and both staff members' rotas update automatically.

## Tips

Swaps are only offered to team members with the matching skill for that shift, so cover is always qualified.

If a swap causes a rota conflict, such as double-booking someone, it won't be approved automatically - check the note on the request for details.
