How content approval works in SocialBu

  1. When a team member creates a post and sends it for approval, the post moves to the Awaiting Approval page.
  2. The post will remain there until it is either approved or rejected by the designated approver.
  3. The post will not be published unless approved.

What happens after approving the post

  1. Once approved, the post automatically moves to the Scheduled page.
  2. At this point, the post can no longer be edited—unless the person making the changes is the approver.

What happens after rejecting the post

  1. The reject option is located next to the approve option.
  2. You can reject the post and provide a reason for your rejection, which will be shared with your teammates.
  3. Once you have rejected the post, a pop-up will appear asking you for the reason for the rejection.
