This section describes how to approve content in Broadsign Publish.
No content can be added to a message without being approved.
Broadsign Publish allows some specific users to perform the following tasks:
- Approve or reject content that was uploaded (see Approve or Reject Content).
- Approve or reject content that was uploaded after receiving an email requesting an approval (see Approve or Reject Content from Email).
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.
Once content has been uploaded, it must be approved. Even once approved, content can be later on rejected.
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:
- On the Your Library page, find the content to approve by filtering the status.
- Click the content name to access the approval window.
- In the approval window, select whether to approve or reject the content.
You can use the mobile version of Broadsign Publish to approve content directly from your mobile. The process is the same as Approve or Reject Content.
It is possible to configure a user to receive email notices that new content has been uploaded and is ready for approval. This email has the following information:
- Who has uploaded the content.
- The name of the content uploaded.
- A link to log into Broadsign Publish to approve or reject the content.
