Approval Statuses

Approval status  indicates the progress level of a post. These are  determined by the Approver for every individual post that they review.
1. Approve - To approve the post a user sends for approval.



2. Reject- To reject the post a user sends for approval.



->While you click on the Reject option, you will be given an option to specify the reason for the rejection. You can add your feedback or correction here, and hit the Reject button to notify the publisher. 



3. Yet to Review- Default status that is assigned to every post that comes in for approval.



4. Under Review - To imply that the post is still under analysis. This option is used by Approvers to let other Approvers within the Brand know that a particular post has already been looked at, and is awaiting more changes. 



5. Time Elapsed- When a post is not approved within the scheduled publishing time, the status of the post automatically updates to 'Time Elapsed'. This content can be retrieved and rescheduled anytime, once it is approved.

Step 3: Managing posts sent for Approval

Once a piece of content has been sent for Approval by a publisher, an Approver can now review it and move it along the publishing pipeline. To do this:
1. Go to the Posts tab and click on the Approvals option from the left menu.
2. From the list of posts displayed, click on the one you want to update the status for (Under Review, Yet to Review, Time Elapsed, and Reject) or simply Approve.
3. Click on the Approve button in the detailed post view to approve the post right away.

Once you click on the Approve button, the status of the post will be changed to Approved. If you click on the drop-down next to the Approve button, you can access two options.

Approve and Publish Now- Use this option if you want to approve and publish the post instantly.
Approve and Add to Queue- Use this option if you want to approve and publish the post immediately, or add it to the next available queue slot.
