Some modules (e.g. Announcements, Calendar, Link Manager) allow users without permissions to submit content for approval by administrators. The Approval module is a central area for you to approve or disapprove user submissions.

The Approval List module is in the Administration tab. Go to that tab under the control panel and click on the Approval link.

When a module needs something to get approved, it will appear on this list. Each module will be listed separately with its entries beneath. Some information will be provided in the Information section. You can receive more information by clicking on the View link. Once you have viewed the submission, you have three options per entry. Yes - Choosing this radio button means you wish to accept the entry and write it permanently to the system. No - Choosing this radio button means you do not want to approve this entry and want it removed from the system. Ignore - Choosing this radio button (which by default is selected) will skip over that entry for a later decision. Once you have picked your choices, click the Go button at the bottom of this list. That is all there is to it.

Check your Approvals List about once a day or more depending upon your site's traffic. If you have any questions or comments about this document, please contact me at matt at tux dot appstate dot edu.
