# SP Confirmation After receiving feedback from the requested SPs on their availability, you can **finalize the** [**SP recruitment process**]() by [**confirming SPs**]() for patient-scenario [Sessions](/doc/sessions-2aZ5cOyh5C). :::info With **SP Confirmation,** you notify SPs in the [**SPA Mobile Application**](/doc/spa-mobile-application-aS1sW4QEDb) that they were approved for the Sessions they made themselves available for. Once a Case is confirmed within a Session, SPs must arrive and present the patient scenario at the scheduled date and time, unless they [**cancel their confirmed appointment**](/doc/how-to-manage-your-confirmed-appointments-z0ASCggqVs). ::: :::warning In the current version of the **SPA Mobile Application**, SPs can decline their confirmed appointments right until the start of a session.  Since this could make it difficult to find a new SP and/or reschedule the Session, please consult your **SP coordinator** before declining the appointment at such short notice. ::: :::info **Privileges** ***SP Coordinators:*** **Confirm SPs for scheduled Sessions** after reviewing their availability and finalize their participation in specific Cases. ::: Go through the Cases in your [**Cast sheets**](/doc/cast-sheets-YRPTbYPckT) to see if anyone has responded to the [**requests you have previously sent**](/doc/how-to-recruit-sps-for-sessions-ZN12yo42cy).
