Who this is for

This guide is for staff, managers, and owners confirming the next ranks for members selected on Advancement.

You need the members.change permission.

Before you begin

Start from Review advancement readiness so the review screen has a prepared selection. Opening /advancement/review with no selection returns you to Advancement.
Confirm the progression and target ranks before saving.

Steps

Open Advancement in the left navigation.
Select the members to advance (row Select … checkboxes, or Select all when appropriate).
Click Review next →. The review screen lists each member with current and next rank.
Click Advance (or Advance N members).
Confirm in the dialog (Advance N members). Cancel leaves ranks unchanged.
When the save finishes you return to Advancement with ranks updated.

Expected outcome

Selected members receive the recorded ranks once; member history reflects the change.

Recovery

If review is empty, return to Advancement and prepare a selection first. If the confirm dialog is dismissed, no ranks change; open Review next → again when ready.
