# 9Pic Select

> Let clients and teammates review and select the best photos from an event.

<Warning>
  9Pic Select is a **Pro plan** feature (available on Pro and Enterprise). On Trial and Pay-as-you-go plans it shows a lock in the event product nav. If it stays locked after upgrading, email [support@9pic.ai](mailto:support@9pic.ai) to switch it on for your organisation.
</Warning>

## Overview

9Pic Select is a photo-culling workflow: clients or teammates review the gallery and mark which photos to keep, so only the best images are processed or delivered. Select has three tabs:

| Tab            | What it's for                                                      |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Overview**   | Selection status and entry point                                   |
| **Access**     | Manage which users can review and select photos                    |
| **Engagement** | Activity metrics — how many photos have been reviewed and selected |

Open it from an event's product navigation: **9pic Select**.

## Manage Access

The **Access** tab controls who can use the selection tool for this event. Enable the specific clients or teammates who should review photos; everyone else can't open the selection workflow.

## Track Selection Activity

The **Engagement** tab shows real-time activity: how many photos have been reviewed, how many selected, and remaining workload. Use it to see when a client has finished selecting.

## Getting Started

<Steps>
  <Step title="Confirm your plan">
    Select needs the Pro plan or above. Upgrade from [Credits](/dashboard-guide/credits) if it's locked.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable reviewers">
    On the **Access** tab, turn on access for the people who will review photos.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review and track">
    Reviewers select photos; watch progress on the **Engagement** tab.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Use Select before full processing to cut down on processing volume — fewer photos processed can mean lower credit usage.
