Approve or Decline Content

In order to approve or decline content, you must open the content for editing.  If you are not currently on a page that shows the content and has a drop-down list for Status, follow the steps in Locate Content by Date or Status  or Locate Content by Section and Page  to locate and open the content for editing.  Once the content is opened for editing, the steps to change the status are the same regardless of the method you used to locate the content.  The example shown here assumes you located the content by following the steps in section Locate Content by Date or Status.  If you followed the steps in section Locate Content by Section and Page, your screen may look slightly different.

Our example will illustrate changing the status of content from Pending to Approved.

Using the Status drop-down list box, change the status to the new status.

The page will redraw and the current status will be the status you chose.  You will see a message indicating the status was changed.  Depending on the status you selected, you may see additional fields that allow you to edit that content.
