Hello guys,
this is my first post in the community, i have just joined,
I recently started using the wayfarer reviewing, and i have just earned an upgrade, but although i have searched the web, i still find it unclear on how to use it
can the upgrade be used on an existing approved nomination?
I can see it in my profile section but nothing is clickable there, i assume is from another tab that you can use it, does that mean its from a new nomination that has in queue, status that can only be used?

The upgrade will get used on one of your pending nominations to get it reviewed quicker. Normally, in my area, a nomination takes two years to get approved without an upgrade. With an upgrade, it takes around 12 hours.
You can choose what you want to upgrade by marking a submission as "upgrade next". If you have pending nominations and don't have one marked, a random nomination will get chosen. If you don't have pending nominations, you can store up to 10 nominations.

thank you so much for taking the time to reply.
Therefore the upgrade is just a like a fast pass to get approved faster?
And thus already approved nominations cannot be upgraded from pokestops to Gyms?
You cant upgrade PokeStops to Gyms. This is based on the number of POIs in a specific number.
@JeihobTheLink-PGO an upgrade exposes a nomination to a wider audience for voting so a determination is generally made much quicker.
It does not guarantee that the nomination will be accepted, it still needs to meet the criteria for a good wayspot.
