Pro teams can now choose how Git committers to private repositories are added to their Vercel team.

- **Auto Approval**: non-team committers with Vercel accounts are automatically added to your team and their deployments proceed immediately. Added members count toward your team seats at standard Pro pricing.
- **Manual Approval**: deployments are blocked until an owner approves the new member.

Choose your approval preference in [team settings](https://vercel.com/d?to=%2F%5Bteam%5D%2F%7E%2Fsettings%2Fmembers%23collaboration-settings&title=Go+to+collaboration+settings).
