Depending on what you have configured in the General Settings area, you will have to approve or reject different actions made by the users.
For example, if you set to approve photos, then any photos uploaded by users will need your approval. To manage this go to the "Approvals" tab.
In order to approve an item or not, simply check the tickbox and click on "Approve" or "Reject".

By clicking on one of them you will see the actual item that is waiting to be approved.
