As an admin or group owner, you'll need to set this up in your group's settings. 1. Visit the group where you'd like to allow post submissions. 2. In the group header, click the dropdown arrow and select **Settings**. 3. On the settings pop-up, click **Permission Settings**. 4. In the **"Who can create posts?"** section, you'll see a few options. Configure the settings to allow post submission and approval. - **Admins only:** In this setup, only admins can post in the group and approve member-submitted posts. ![](https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/636172092/e918728b71b0b051f2b75cb2/CleanShot+2022-12-15+at+16.58.34%402x.png) - **Admins and Group Owners:** With this configuration, both admins and group owners can post and approve submissions. ![](https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/636172507/e2804d3a2ab76c6a8b0af356/CleanShot+2022-12-15+at+16.59.49%402x.png) 5. Click **Save** to update the group's settings. Once saved, group members will be able to create posts and submit them for approval in this group! #### How to Approve or Deny Posts When a post is submitted by a group member, you'll receive a notification via email and in-app letting you know there's a new post that needs review. 1. Go to the group where the post was submitted. 2. Click the downward arrow next to the "Create" button and select **Needs Review**. ![](https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/636178741/500c4958752838a076c21483/CleanShot+2022-12-15+at+17.15.53%402x.png) 3. A pop-up will open with a list of all submitted posts, along with the author, group, and submission date. 4. To approve a post instantly, just click **Publish**. Or, for a more detailed review, click the three-dot button next to the post and select **View Pending Post** to edit, publish, or deny it. ![](https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/636179089/91217bc4c67cec0b9271202e/CleanShot+2022-12-15+at+17.16.54%402x.png) If you **publish** the post, it will go live in the group. If you **deny** it, the post will be sent back to the author's drafts. In either case, the post author will be notified about the decision. --- ### **For Group Members** #### How to Submit a Post for Approval Have an idea for a post? Here’s how you can submit it to an admin for review. 1. Click the **Create** button in the page header. 2. Select **Post** in the create modal. 3. Choose the group where you want to submit your post. You'll notice it says **"Requires Approval"** next to the group name. 4. Create your post as usual! 5. Click **Submit**. A pop-up will appear to confirm your submission—just click **Submit Post for Approval** to send it off to your admins. You'll receive a notification when your post is approved or denied for publication. Happy collaborating and sharing! 😄 --- **Keywords:** post submissions, content moderation, group content, admin approval, post approval, publishing workflow, group settings, collaboration - [Haystack Basics](https://support.haystackteam.com/en/haystack-basics?hsLang=en#main-content) -
