Use this page for desktop-specific review flow. Promotion requests let teammates propose cross-environment key updates while requiring an explicit human decision before target values are changed. ## Where Requests Appear In desktop, pending requests can surface in multiple places: * project environment cards (pending request indicators), * target environment Variables view (pending review banner), * review entry points that deep-link to the target environment. Ghostable desktop environments view in light mode showing a pending promotion review banner and pending indicators on environment cards. Ghostable desktop environments view in dark mode showing a pending promotion review banner and pending indicators on environment cards. ## Review Flow From a pending request entry point, choose **Review** to open the promotion review modal. The review flow shows: * requester + source to target direction, * requested key list, * whether values were included in the request, * current request status.

When approving, you can provide or override values as needed for individual keys before final submit. ## Included Value Decryption Warnings If a request includes values but your device cannot decrypt one or more of them, desktop shows a warning and lets you provide explicit values during approval. Common cause: the request was created before this device received the relevant environment key shares.

Ghostable desktop promotion review warning in dark mode indicating one or more included values could not be decrypted on this device. ## Permissions and Safety Desktop enforces environment permissions from the API: * reviewers need target-environment write capability to approve, * sensitive data remains client-side encrypted, * request and activity records remain metadata-forward for auditability. ## Continue Return to the primary environment editing workspace.
