Approved by a user in this role

With this requirement, you can stop content from being published unless it has been approved by a user in a particular role.

This is an excellent way to allow some users to “sign off” on content before it is published.

  • Go to Checklists > Settings. The image below shows the internal links option.
  • You can choose from “Disabled, Recommended, or Required” options.
  • You can choose “Who can ignore this task?“
  • In the final box, you can choose which roles can approve posts. In the image below, posts can't be published unless they are approved by an Administrator or Editor.
