Approving Content

All content added to the Planet eStream Solution can be made subject to approval.

The newly added content is not immediately made available to end-users - it is placed on a list of items pending approval, to be checked and approved (or declined) by a user with the Can Approve permission.

Comments can also be made subject to approval. Additionally, if a user considers a comment to be inappropriate, it can be flagged for review.

How to Approve Content

  • Click the Tools icon at the top of the Planet eStream Homepage and click the Approve Content option.
