# Confirm Fields
> Understand how to lock in planning decisions, defer open questions, and resolve conflicts when the AI suggests a different value.
## Why confirmation matters
Every field in the EventPilot smart form exists in one of three states:
| State | Meaning |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Empty** | No data has been provided yet |
| **Inferred** | The AI has suggested a value, but you haven't validated it |
| **Confirmed** | You have approved the value — it is locked and protected |
**Confirmed fields cannot be overwritten by the AI.** This is a core principle of EventPilot: the AI proposes, you decide. Once you confirm a value, it remains exactly as you set it unless you explicitly reopen it.
Inferred fields are color-coded to show confidence level: green for high confidence, amber for medium, and gray for low. Confirmed fields display with a solid, stable style.
***
## How to confirm a field
When the AI fills in a field from your conversation, the field displays the suggested value with a confidence indicator and a provenance note (e.g., "Extracted from message").
Click the **Confirm** button on the field. The field status changes to confirmed, the value is locked, and your decision is saved to your confirmation history.
You can also confirm a value you typed manually. Edit the field, then click Confirm to lock it.
***
## How to reject a field value
If the AI inferred the wrong value, click **Reject** on the field. This clears the value entirely and returns the field to an empty state — ready for you to provide the correct information, either by telling the AI in chat or editing the field directly.
***
## How to defer a decision
If you're not ready to commit to a value, click **Decide Later**. This moves the field to the **Open Decisions** list in the smart form's Open Decisions section.
Use Decide Later to keep your planning moving without getting blocked on uncertain details. You can review and resolve all deferred items at once when you're ready.
Deferred items appear in the Open Decisions section with the field name and the last suggested value (if any). To resolve a deferred decision, navigate to Open Decisions, review the item, and confirm or reject the value.
***
## How to re-open a confirmed field
Circumstances change. If you need to revise a decision you've already confirmed:
Locate the field in the smart form. Confirmed fields have a distinct visual treatment that sets them apart from inferred fields.
Click the **Re-open** button on the confirmed field. The field reverts to an inferred state, making it editable and allowing the AI to propose updates again.
Edit the value or let the AI suggest a new one, then confirm again when ready.
***
## Conflict resolution
If you've confirmed a field and the AI later receives information that contradicts it, EventPilot **does not silently overwrite your decision**. Instead, you see a **conflict warning** on that field.
The conflict warning shows:
* Your confirmed (locked) value
* The AI's new suggested alternative
You then choose one of two actions:
Dismiss the AI's suggestion and retain your original confirmed value. The conflict is resolved in your favor.
Accept the AI's new suggestion. The field is updated to the new value and re-confirmed with a new confirmation record.
***
## Confirmation history
Every confirmation action is stored permanently. This means:
* Every confirm, re-open, and conflict resolution is recorded with a timestamp
* The full history of a field's decisions is always available
* No confirmation can be retroactively deleted or altered
EventPilot's confirmation history is designed for accountability in professional event planning — you always have a complete record of who decided what and when.
