Activity Sidebar & In-App Video Playback - March 2026

Review, play, and act on advocate content — all without leaving Duel.


🎯 Why we made these changes

Reviewing advocate content submissions used to mean jumping between tabs — opening Instagram, downloading videos, and piecing together context from multiple places. We've redesigned the activity review experience so everything you need is surfaced directly in Duel, making moderation faster and more confident.

✨ What's changed

We've updated two core areas of the platform:

  • Task submission sidebar — a redesigned panel that surfaces richer submission detail at a glance
  • In-app video playback — watch submitted video content directly inside Duel, no external app required

These changes are now live across all brand accounts.

📋 The new task submission sidebar

💻 Navigate to Activity > select any pending submission to open the sidebar

When you click into a submission from the Activity feed, the updated sidebar now shows:

  • Advocate name and group — linked directly to their profile
  • Source — the platform the content was posted to (e.g. Instagram)
  • Date Created — timestamp of when the submission was received
  • State — content safety status (e.g. Safe for Work)
  • Reactions / Likes — engagement data pulled from the source platform
  • AI Duel Score — an AI-generated quality rating for the submission

At the bottom of the sidebar, you'll find the Reject, Accept, and Update actions, so you can moderate without navigating away.

🎬 In-app video playback

Video submissions — including Instagram Reels and TikToks — now play directly in the sidebar. No need to open the original post or download the file to review it.

  • Click into any video submission from the Activity feed
  • The video previews automatically at the top of the sidebar
  • Use the mute/unmute toggle to control audio

⬇️ Download Video

If you need the original file — for repurposing, reporting, or sharing with your wider team — the Download Video button sits alongside the Metadata tab at the top of the sidebar.

🤖 AI Duel Score

Each submission now displays an AI Duel Score, giving you an at-a-glance quality signal to help prioritise your review queue. Scores range from low to very good and are visible both in the Activity list and inside the submission sidebar.

🚨 Note: The AI Duel Score is an assistive signal — it's designed to support your moderation decisions, not replace them. Always use your own judgement when accepting or rejecting content.

🚀 Benefits

  • Faster moderation — review, watch, and action submissions in a single view
  • Richer context — advocate details, source, safety state, and engagement data all in one place
  • No tab-switching — video playback and downloads are built directly into the sidebar
  • Smarter prioritisation — AI Duel Score helps you spot high-quality submissions at a glance

🔮 What's next

We'll be updating screenshots across related knowledge base articles to reflect the new sidebar design. If you have feedback on the updated experience, reach out to your Duel account manager.
