Approval stages

In review, Changes requested, Approved. How a version moves between stages, and why only Approved can be published.

Every version has a stage. You see it on the file and in the file grid.

StageWhat it means
In reviewSomeone has been asked to approve it
Changes requestedA reviewer asked for changes
ApprovedA reviewer approved it. It can now be published.

Flekh moves it for you

You don't need to change stages by hand.

  • You send an approval link: In review
  • A reviewer clicks Request changes: Changes requested
  • A reviewer clicks Approve: Approved

Need to set it yourself? Click the stage and pick another one. Your choice wins.

A new version starts fresh

When you upload v3, it starts its own review. v2 keeps its stage and comments. If you open an old version, Flekh tells you, for example: "You're viewing v2 (changes requested). v3 is the latest and approved."

Why it matters

Only an Approved version can be scheduled or published. So the wrong cut can't go out by mistake. And because the post uses that exact version, its results come back to it. See Why a post is blocked.
