# Approvals and client review

Get a teammate or client to approve the exact post before it is scheduled. Approvals are optional.

## When to use approvals

Approvals are off by default for solo publishing. Turn them on per draft when someone else must sign off. The account owner can turn approval off at any time; the owner still schedules.

## Request a review

Save the draft in Compose, then choose Get approval. Postroom freezes the exact captions per channel, media, destinations, thread replies, titles, boards and link, and creates a private review link. Links expire and can be revoked from Approvals.

## What the reviewer sees

The reviewer opens the link without an account, sees each channel version exactly as it will publish, and approves or requests changes with a note. You can require a 6-digit email code so the decision is tied to their address.

## After a decision

Approved drafts can be scheduled. If anyone edits the words, media or channels afterwards, the approval no longer matches and a new review is needed. Moving only the time keeps the approval.

## Approvals inbox

Approvals lists every review link with its state: waiting, viewed, approved, changes requested, expired or revoked, and whether the draft changed since.
