Moderating Group Content with Post Submissions ✍️

For Admins and Group Owners

How to Set Up Post Submissions

Allowing members to submit posts is configured on a group-by-group basis. 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.

     

   • Admins and Group Owners: With this configuration, both admins and group owners can post and approve submissions.

     

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.

   

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.

   

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.
