See how planning and content review stages connect to approvers, statuses, and publishing readiness.

What to know

Prepare the stage

Complete the Plan or Media work that the approver is being asked to review.

Choose an approver

Send the plan or content stage to a person with access and approval permission.

Review in context

The approver opens the piece, checks the Plan, Media, comments, and surrounding workflow context.

Record the decision

Approve when ready or request changes with specific feedback. The status and activity history preserve the outcome.

Continue after approval

Make requested changes and resubmit, or prepare publishing when the required stage is approved.

The team has an explicit decision trail instead of treating comments as approval.

If something goes wrong

  • A comment alone does not replace the approval action.
