# User-Submitted Content

The Events Addon allows authenticated users to submit their own events through the API.

### How Users Can Submit Events

Users with authenticated API access can:
1. Create new events using the API
2. Update their existing events
3. Delete their events

### Reviewing and Approving Submissions

**Review Process:**
1. Navigate to **Events** in the admin panel
2. Look for events where **Approved** is unchecked
3. Review all submitted information:
   - Verify accuracy of date and time information
   - Check that location information is correct
   - Ensure content meets your standards
   - Verify images are appropriate
4. Make any necessary edits
5. Check the **Approved** checkbox
6. Ensure **Enabled** is checked if you want it visible immediately
7. Save

**What Happens:**
- Unapproved events are not visible to the public
- Once approved, events become visible (if also enabled)
- Users receive notifications when their submissions are approved or updated
