# Return Approvals
## Overview
The Return Approvals dashboard is available in the parcelLab App for you to review newly added return requests submitted via the parcelLab Returns Portal. Each return registration is accompanied by images and customer-provided information relating to the return (for example: return reason), enabling retailers to approve or reject the request based on a thorough assessment. The dashboard also provides an option to leave returns pending approval for further review.

### Key Benefits
By using the Return Approvals dashboard, it enables you to gain control over the returns process, minimizing fraud and ensuring only valid return requests are accepted and identifying which requests need further assessment before approval.
For customer service agents, it helps to streamline workflows by managing return approvals directly in the parcelLab App. With a single click, agents can approve or reject returns based on pre-set conditions like return value thresholds or flagged items for efficient decision-making.
