Review posts with approvals
Have posts approved before they go out. Choose when approval is needed and who can approve, then review in Team.
On this page
Approvals let a teammate or client sign off on posts before they're published. Approvals are on the Growth and Scale plans.
Set the rules
- Choose Team in the sidebar, then Rules.
- Under Approval, choose:
- When needed: only members who can't publish send posts for review.
- Always: every member's post needs approval.
- Under Approvers, choose who can approve. Owners and admins can always approve; you can also make a member an approver.
Owners and admins set the rules.
Send a post for review
In the composer, choose Send for review instead of publishing. Add a note if there's anything to check, for example "Is the price right?". The post waits for a decision, and the approvers are told.
Review posts
Choose Team in the sidebar. The page shows what needs you first, for example "1 post waits on your review".
- To review: posts waiting on you.
- In review: posts waiting on someone.
- Sent back: your posts that were sent back for changes.
- Approved: posts that have been signed off.
Open a post to see how it looks on each platform, any note from the writer, and the comments. Then:
- Approve: the button says what happens next. Approve & publish sends it now; Approve & schedule schedules it for its time.
- Request changes: add a note saying what to change. The post goes back to its writer under Sent back.
- Edit: fix a small thing yourself before approving.
When a post is sent back, its writer edits it and sends it for review again.
