❓ Issue/Question
- Why is my upload stuck on “Your upload is pending validation”?
- Why isn’t my uploaded media appearing in the collection?
- Why is my media waiting for validation after uploading?

👌 Resolution/Answer
- This occurs when media requires verification by an administrator before it can be published to a collection.
- If you see this message, your upload was successful and is simply waiting for an administrator to validate it. Once the media has been approved, it will appear in the collection.
