When your agency or team shares content with you in Planable, you can review and approve posts with a single click. Planable records who approved each post, so everyone stays on the same page without long email threads.
Good to know: You only see the approval option if your agency has given you the Approve permission in the workspace. If you don't see it, reach out to your agency contact.
How to approve a post
- Open the post you have been asked to review.
- Click the approve button (the checkmark icon).
The post is then marked as approved, and everyone in the workspace can see who approved it.
How to approve posts from My approvals
The My approvals section groups every post waiting for your sign-off. Its board has three columns: Awaiting approval, Feedback left and Approved.
- Open a post from the Awaiting approval or Feedback left column.
- Click Approve post at the bottom.
You can also drag a post into the Approved column to approve it.
Good to know: Posts only appear in My approvals after someone has sent you an approval request. See Requesting approval.
How to approve a post from an email
When someone requests your approval on a single post, the request email links to a preview of the post. Click Confirm approval on that page to approve it without opening Planable. The link stays valid for 14 days.
How to unapprove a post
Approved something by mistake, or changed your mind? Click the checkmark icon again to unapprove the post.
Published posts cannot have their approval revoked. Read more in Unapprove a post.
Frequently asked questions
Why don't I see the approve button?
You need the Approve permission in the workspace. Ask your agency contact to give you approver access.
Why is a post missing from My approvals?
Posts appear in My approvals only after an approval request has been sent to you. In Multi-level approval workflows, a post also shows up only when it is your level's turn to approve.
Can I approve a post without logging in to Planable?
Yes, for single-post requests. The approval request email links to a preview page where you click Confirm approval. The link expires after 14 days.
Can I undo an approval?
Yes. Click the checkmark icon again to unapprove the post, as long as it has not been published yet.
