Approval rules

Rules decide who has to say yes to each kind of change, and whether it goes live once they have. Set them once for your agency, and change them per client.

Before you start

Only admins can change rules. Editors see them, and client approvers can read their own client’s rules in the portal.

Where rules live

For every client
More, then Team and settings, then Default approval rules.
For one client
The client, then More, then Settings, then Who approves what.

1Choose Change the rules

Each kind of change has its own row: page title, meta description, page content, structured data, FAQ answer, resource page, blog post, and each kind of reply.

2Set the switches

Agency reviews
Someone on your team approves it first.
Client approves
An approver at the client says yes, and you can ask for up to 10.
Publishes when approved
It goes live by itself after the last approval. Replies are always posted by hand.

At least one of Agency reviews and Client approves always stays on. Nothing publishes without an approval.

3Save

A saved rule covers new suggestions and the ones already waiting, so a queue can clear the moment you change it. Approvals already given still count.

From 6 reviews

To do with the top three moves ticked and Approve the top 3 in the group’s header.

Approving, and taking it back

  • Approve the top 3 approves the three moves likely to be named most, and never a flagged draft.
  • Changed your mind? Undo works for 10 minutes, for the person who approved, while nothing else has happened to the change.
  • An admin or the client can still decline an approved change until it goes live.

Not now, changes and declines

Later
Back in To do next week.
Ask for changes
It comes back revised, following your note.
Decline
It won’t be used, and the same target isn’t suggested again.

Asking for changes and declining both need a short note, so the reason is clear. Notes that hold for every draft become writing rules.
