Every note you capture lands in the Feed — a live stream you can watch fill up during a game. Nothing becomes an official output until a coach confirms it.

​
What a note looks like

Each note shows:
  • Category — Player feedback, Game data, Action item, or Game insight.
  • Status — Transcribing, Pending review, Confirmed, or Consent blocked.
  • Player — if you attributed it.
  • The text — what RinkNotes heard and wrote.
You’ll watch a note change from “Transcribing…” to its finished text as RinkNotes processes it.
RinkNotes review feed for the Riverside Wolves showing categorized notes with Confirm, Edit, and delete actions

The feed. Each note shows its category, the player, and Confirm / Edit / delete actions; confirmed notes flow into your outputs.

​
The review chain

RinkNotes double-checks notes so nothing shaky slips through:
1

Assistant review

An assistant coach can approve, edit, or reject a note. Approving sends it to the head coach.
2

Head coach confirms

The head coach gives the final yes. Confirmed notes flow into your outputs.
RinkNotes flags high-confidence notes as pre-vetted. When the head coach is the one capturing, a pre-vetted note can confirm on its own; otherwise pre-vetted notes wait in the queue, where one tap on “Approve all pre-vetted” clears them together — so you’re not tapping through every obvious one.

​
Try it

Confirm a note, or edit one first — watch it flow into your outputs. Nothing counts until you do.

​
Editing a note

Before a note is confirmed you can open it and:
  • fix the text,
  • change the category (Player feedback, Game data, Action item, Game insight),
  • change the player it’s attributed to (only consented players can be chosen),
  • and, for player-feedback notes, change its observation category — the developmental area it’s about. See Observation categories for the set.
Parent volunteers don’t see the feed at all — they can capture, but reviewing is for coaches.

​
Fixing a note you already confirmed

Confirmed the wrong thing? It’s not locked away. A head coach can open a confirmed note and correct its text or who it’s attributed to. Two things worth knowing:
  • Only the head coach can edit after confirmation — an assistant can’t quietly rewrite the record once it’s official.
  • The edit re-runs that player’s outputs. Move a goal from #9 to #7 and both #9’s and #7’s feedback and stats get recomputed, so nothing is left pointing at the wrong kid. You don’t trigger that by hand — it happens because you edited.
Confirm at a sensible pace, then — but don’t treat a confirmed note as carved in stone.
If a note is stuck on “Transcribing…” for a while (a dropped upload), you can remove it from the feed and re-capture. Everything else uploads and finishes on its own.
A note marked Consent blocked can’t be confirmed until that player’s parent has granted consent. Resolve the consent from Roster & Consent and the note becomes reviewable.
