Approval Workflows

Require content review before publication, per workspace. Create workflows, assign approvers, and manage submissions.

For Hub Admins

Approval workflows are created once at the hub level, then assigned per workspace. Each workspace can have one active workflow at a time.

Create a Workflow

Open the Approval Tab

On the Hub page, open the Approval tab. Every workflow for your brand lives here.

Click New Workflow

A setup panel opens for the workflow details.

Name the Workflow

Give it a clear, descriptive name your team will recognize, for example "Franchise Location Approval".

Add Approvers

Select the users who sign off on content. They appear as a visual chain showing the order content moves through review.

Pick the Right Reviewers

Choose team members who know your brand standards so reviews stay fast and consistent. Approvers must already be users in your hub.

Assign a Workflow to Workspaces

Open the Workspaces Tab

Go to the Workspaces tab.

Pick the Workflow on Each Row

Use the dropdown in the Approval Workflow column to choose the workflow for each workspace that should require review.

One Workflow Per Workspace

Each workspace can have only one active approval workflow at a time. Assigning a new one replaces the previous workflow for that workspace.

Resolve Any Fix Issues Warnings

If an approver is not a member of a workspace using the workflow, a red Fix issues button appears on that row. Click it to add the missing approvers to the workspace in one click, or remove the workflow from that workspace instead.

How Approval Works for Content Creators

Once a workflow is assigned to a workspace, posts created there must pass review before going live.

Creator Submits for Approval

Instead of clicking Publish or Schedule, the content creator clicks Submit for Approval.

Approvers Are Notified

Every approver in the chain receives an email notification and an in-app alert that content is waiting for review.

Approvers Review and Decide

ActionWhat happens

Approved Content Goes Live

Once everyone in the chain has approved, the creator can schedule or publish the post.

Edit or Delete a Workflow

Open the three-dot menu on any workflow's row and choose Modify workflow to change its name or approvers, or Delete workflow to remove it.
