# Confirm validation

`POST /api/v1/annotations/{annotationID}/confirm`

Confirm annotation, switch status to `exported` (or `exporting`). If the `confirmed` state is enabled,
this call moves the annotation to the `confirmed` status.

<Callout type="info">
The confirm call is the right choice when confirming correctly captured data and switching the annotations
to `confirmed` or `exported` state. One can be tempted by patching the status of the annotation to the `confirmed`
or `exported` state. However, patching status skips key annotation metadata updates which negatively affects
the [Dedicated AI Engine](https://knowledge-base.rossum.ai/docs/ai-engines) training.
