# Review Actions That Are Outside of Terms
When an action occurs that falls outside the established contract terms between a partner and your program, that action is considered outside of terms. Outside terms actions are automatically reversed, but can be modified for approval manually.
## Approve outside of terms actions
1. From the left navigation bar, select  **\[Engage] → Transactions**.
2. Select **Pending Payouts → Outside Terms**.
3. Under the *Actions* column, select **Approve**.
* This will override the reversal.
### Approve outside of terms actions in bulk
You can select multiple actions on the *Outside Terms* page and select **Approve** at the top of the table, but you can't upload a file there. To approve many actions at once, submit a batch modifications file via File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or email instead. You can also approve actions via the [application programming interface (API)](/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/submit-and-modify-conversion-data/batch-modify-conversion-data/batch-process-reversals-via-api-web-services-overview.md).
1. Create a .CSV file with one row per action you want to approve. Use one of the following formats:
Option 1: Use the Action ID
| ActionID | Amount | Reason |
| ------------------ | ------ | -------- |
| 47438.6688.5831507 | 15.00 | APPROVED |
Option 2: Use the OID and Event Type ID
| ActionTrackerID | Oid | Amount | Reason |
| --------------- | --------------------------------------- | ------ | -------- |
| 68013 | ce125d17-ac88-53f3-b7c0-5f88a70a1afa\_1 | 15.00 | APPROVED |
* *ActionTrackerID* is the [Event Type ID](/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/event-types/how-do-i-find-my-event-type-ids.md) of the action.
* *Amount* is the action's final amount.
* *Reason* is `APPROVED`. Your program may require an approval disposition code. Set one up before approving actions. See [Manage Disposition Codes](/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/tracking/set-up-tracking/manage-disposition-codes.md).
2. Submit your file via FTP or email. See [Submit Batch Modifications & Reversals](/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/submit-and-modify-conversion-data/batch-modify-conversion-data/submit-batch-modifications-and-reversals.md) for instructions.
* For more on fields and reason codes, see [Batch Modifications & Reversals Reference](/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/submit-and-modify-conversion-data/batch-modify-conversion-data/batch-modifications-and-reversals-reference.md).
## Filter & download outside of terms actions
1. From the filter bar beneath the page title, select or input a base filter.
* Optionally, select  **\[Add]** to add additional filters to the filter bar.
* When selecting filters, make sure to select  **\[Search]** for them to take effect.
* See the references below for more details on each filter.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://help.impact.com/brand/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/actions-and-payouts/actions/review-actions-that-are-outside-of-terms.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
