How to approve content types and sections for publishing

Approving content

Content types and sections can exist in 3 states:

Approved content and sections will publish to the website.

Pending content and sections will not publish to the website. Previously published versions will remain on the website.

Inactive content and sections will not publish to the website. Making content inactive will remove it from the live website if it has been previously published.

 

Only approved content can be published.

 

Approving content types

The simplest way to approve content is to use the Save and Approve option when saving a content type.

A window will open with an option to leave a comment. Those comments don't go anywhere, so just click Approve.

Approving sections

Sections are approved by default.

However, if you are building a new page or making significant changes to it, its status may be pending.

Approve a section by changing the Status to Pending on the General section details screen.
