# Chat and approve requests

The session page shows the agent working live. Approve what it asks, answer its questions and steer it with follow-ups.

![Session page with the title, status and Session actions button at the top, the conversation with file edits and commands, and the message box at the bottom](/_fern-files/_img/2800f2d96e4d67124221328d324f6f9b6768a045b505e47f308eb4a9fc26d9e4.webp)

## Answer the agent

When the agent needs you, the status says **Needs approval**, **Question for you** or **Plan to review**.

#### Find the request

Look for **Waiting for your approval**. It says what the agent wants, such as **Run shell command?** or **Edit file?**, with the details.

#### Approve or decline

Pick one of the agent's options. <kbd>⌘</kbd><kbd>Enter</kbd> allows once, <kbd>Esc</kbd> declines.

#### Answer questions and plans

Pick an answer or type one in **Or type a different answer…**. For an **Implementation plan**, choose **Approve and implement**, **Request changes** or **Discard**.

## Send a follow-up

Type in the box at the bottom and press <kbd>Enter</kbd>. <kbd>/</kbd> lists the agent's commands and <kbd>@</kbd> mentions a file.

While the agent works, <kbd>Enter</kbd> queues your message for its next step or turn. <kbd>⌘</kbd><kbd>Enter</kbd> interrupts instead. **Stop turn** (or <kbd>Esc</kbd> in an empty box) stops the turn.

## Share the session

#### Open visibility

Choose the visibility button at the top of the session to open **Who can see this session**.

#### Pick who

Choose **Project**, **Private** or **Selected teammates…**, then pick teammates and choose **Share with N teammates**.

## Good to know

* Only the person who started a session and organization admins can change who sees it.
* Everyone who can see a session can drive it. **N here** shows who's in it and who is **Driving this turn**.
* Viewers can answer permission requests but can't send messages. The first answer counts, and an unanswered request expires as declined.
* Approvals the agent shouldn't ask for again are in the project's **Settings** › **Saved approvals**, where you can **Revoke** them.
