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.

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.
High-confidence notes can be auto-confirmed or approved in bulk with “Approve all pre-vetted” — so you’re not tapping through every obvious one.

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.
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.
