Approving posts

Nothing goes out without approval. How to approve a post, how two-step approval works, and how to answer a client's comment.

Updated:

Sayweek never publishes a post without approval. An approved post is scheduled for its time – through Postiz or a direct connection.

Who can approve?

  • Owners and editors. With two-step approval switched on, an editor only submits the post for approval.
  • Viewers can look at posts but can't approve them.
  • A team voice contributor only reviews their own posts – see Team voice.

Approving a post

  1. Open the Weekly plan page – the header shows how many posts are waiting for review.
  2. Click Edit on the post card.
  3. Tick the To check items and fix the red blockers until the Approval card says Ready to approve.
  4. Click Approve and schedule – unsaved changes are saved automatically first.

If a post has no blockers, you can also approve it with Approve on its card in the weekly plan. Publish now sends the post out right away (after you confirm; owners only). To pull back an approved post that hasn't been published yet, use Revoke (back to draft): it's deleted from Postiz too and becomes a draft again.

Two-step approval

If a ghostwriter or assistant works with you, you can make sure nothing goes out without an owner's approval. Then an editor's Approve and schedule only submits the post, the owners get a notification, and editors can't publish right away either.

  1. Open Settings → Team and roles.
  2. Switch on Two-step approval – only an owner can do this.
  3. When an editor submits a post, open it from the notification, review it and approve it.

Client feedback on the post

If your client left a comment or requested changes on the approval link, the editor shows a Client feedback section. Reply in the Reply to the client (they see it on the link) field with Send, and mark handled feedback with Resolved. A client's approval alone never sends the post out – your own approval is still needed.
