# Confirming AI actions

> When an AI wants to make something public, it waits for you.

With **Can change, asks before publishing** in [AI permissions](https://docs.ownsite.me/ai-permissions), an AI never makes something public on its own. When it wants to publish a version, turn a page off, or publish or unpublish a post, it sends you the request instead. The AI tells you: "Submitted. It takes effect after you confirm it in Ownsite."

## Where to confirm

- At the top of **Overview**, for example: "ChatGPT wants to publish home page version 4 · **Confirm** / **Don't**".
- In Ownsite AI's chat, as a card with **Confirm** and **Don't**.

Press **Confirm**, and Ownsite does it right away on the AI's behalf. **Recent changes** shows which AI did it and that you confirmed it. Press **Don't**, and nothing changes.

## Good to know

- Until you confirm, nothing changes. Your site stays exactly as it was.
- If an AI asks for the same thing several times, you see it only once.
- A request expires after 7 days. To do it later, ask the AI again.
- Don't want to be asked each time? Set that part to **Everything** in AI permissions.
