Managing a Post Approval Request

If end users have the settings to create and modify content in Yext, they can request approval from compliance admins before it is published to their social accounts. This enables compliance admins the ability to review original and modified to ensure it abides by your organization's social media policy. Compliance admins can either approve or deny the Post Approval Request.
