# Approved Equivalencies

The **Approved Equivalencies** page is a workspace-wide view of every pinned equivalence across every transfer package. It's where you go when you want to ask the kinds of questions that don't fit inside one package — *"have we ever articulated PSY 101 from Belmont?", "show me every accounting equivalence on the books", "what have we approved from Austin Peay so far?"*

Open it from **Approved Equivalencies** in the sidebar.

## What you're looking at

A single table with one row per pinned equivalence, sorted by approval date. Each row shows:

* **Approved** — the date the equivalence was pinned.
* **Transferring Institution** — the source school the equivalence came from.
* **Transfer Course** (cream-banded) — the source course's code, title, credits, and the period it was taken in.
* **Home Course** (lavender-banded) — the pinned home-institution course's code, title, and credits.

The cream + lavender color bands are the same convention used on the **Course Equivalencies** tab — so the two halves of each row are immediately distinguishable as transfer-side vs. home-side.

Two filters sit above the table:

* A **search field** — *"Search by course, package, or institution…"* — that filters by course code, course title, package name, or transferring institution all at once.
* An **institution dropdown** — *"All transferring institutions"* — that scopes the table to one source school.

## Inspecting an equivalence

Click the chevron on the left of any row to expand it. The foldout shows the **same candidate card** you'd see on the package's **Course Equivalencies** tab — code, title, institution, academic year, the full **Match Justification** paragraph, plus the **Manual match** indicator if the equivalence was selected by hand instead of from Mapademics's suggestions.

Below the card, you'll see **Package: {package name}** as a link. Click it to jump straight into that package's **Course Equivalencies** tab, where you can re-pin, flag, or otherwise edit the equivalence in its original context.

## When this page is useful

A few patterns teams reach for it for:

* **Precedent lookup.** "Has anyone already approved an equivalent for this course?" Search by code; if it's been done, you'll see who, when, and against which home course.
* **Auditing recent work.** Sort by approval date (the default) and scan what's been pinned in the last week.
* **Institution-level review.** Filter to one transferring institution and review every articulation you have on file with that school.

The page is read-only here — to change an equivalence, jump into the package via the **Package: {name}** link in the foldout.
