# Review and accept a table draft

A table draft is a saved review candidate. It remains separate from the active table until you explicitly choose **Create table** for a new table or **Apply changes** for a refresh.

## Review the views

Use **Columns** to inspect the proposed field definitions and types. Use **Preview** to inspect rows and values. Select a cell to open its **Evidence**, then read the captured document and supporting passage.

Check missing and unresolved values as well as successful values. A blank or null value is not automatically zero, false, or proof that a term does not exist. Review the reason and source context.

## Refine the schema

Removing or reordering existing proposed columns can update the review without another model call. Those changes preserve the retained values and evidence for the kept columns.

Changing a field's definition or type, or adding a new meaning-bearing field, requires a fresh extraction preview. Strive captures the selected current documents again for that new contract. The earlier preview remains intact if the replacement fails or is cancelled before readiness.

## Accept precisely the reviewed revision

Acceptance saves the table schema, rows, source basis, and receipt together. For a refresh, the target table's schema and data revisions must still match the revisions admitted for the draft. A conflicting edit causes refusal rather than silently overwriting a newer table.

An acceptance response can be lost even when saving succeeded. Reopen the exact draft and inspect its saved receipt before trying again. A replay of the recorded acceptance does not recreate a later-deleted table or overwrite rows manually edited afterward.

After acceptance, open the saved table and inspect representative rows and their evidence. See [refresh and conflicts](/docs/tables/refresh-and-conflicts) and [origin](/docs/tables/evidence-and-origin).
