Students add credentials to Xello to showcase their achievements. Those credentials should be reviewed and approved by an educator. This helps ensure student credentials are accurate and updated. It also can help promote celebration of student achievements as you review and share in the success of their progress.

To review and approve student credentials:

1. From your educator account, click Features and select Credentials.

5. If it meets the requirements, click the Approved box.
   • Their credential will now show as approved in the list and in reports.
   • For the student, once they open the credential, a banner will indicate the credential was approved by an educator. They'll be able to change the status and upload proof, but they'll be unable to edit the name field.
