Approve or Reject Content

Administrators/Network Operators

Content approval is a crucial step to ensure that only authorized media is displayed on your network. As an administrator, you will receive notifications when new content is awaiting your review. This guide outlines the two methods you can use to approve or reject content.

You can configure a user to receive email notifications that new content has been uploaded and is ready for approval (see Configure Email Notification).

Note: Only users with the Can approve content permission can approve content. If you need this permission, contact your domain administrator. For more information, see Users and Groups Permissions.

This is the standard method for reviewing content directly within the Broadsign Publish interface.

Note: Administrators and Network Operators typically have the Can upload without approval permission, which means that any content they upload is automatically approved. For more information, see Assets Permissions.

To approve or reject content:

  1. On the Library page, find the content to approve by filtering the status to Unapproved.

    2. Filter content to approve

  2. Click the content name to access the approval window.
