How to use Approvals

Approvals give you precise control over what Blaze publishes on your behalf while keeping autoposting active.

With Approvals turned on, every post in your calendar must receive an explicit Approve action before Blaze publishes it. Nothing goes live until someone on your workspace signs off.

This gives you steady oversight without interrupting your automated publishing workflow.

This feature is available on the Growth plan.

Why Use Approvals

Approvals offer a controlled publishing flow for users who want to keep autoposting active but still verify each post before it is published.

Popular use cases include:

  • Teams: Managers can review and approve everything before it goes out.

  • Agencies: Invite clients into the workspace so they can approve content themselves.

  • Solo users: Keep the speed of autoposting while reviewing each piece beforehand.

The feature removes the need to fully disable autoposting when you want an extra layer of review.

How to Enable Approvals

  1. Click the Profile icon in the top right corner to open the Workspace Menu and select Settings

  2. Click on the General tab and scroll down to the Autopilot section or the dedicated Approvals section

  3. Toggle Approve Content Before Autoposting or toggle on the Switch next to Approvals

Once enabled, all future content will wait for approval.

How Approvals Work Inside Blaze

After Approvals are turned on, when you click the approvals link in the sidebar, you’ll see a grid of posts that are awaiting review and approval.

There are two ways to approve content:

  1. From the Approvals Tool:

    • Highlight a post and simply click Approve

  2. From the Post Preview Window:

    1. Approve: The post is cleared for publishing and will autopost at its scheduled time.

    2. Don’t Post: The post is removed from the calendar and returned to the original project for further edits. You can also find it under Recent in your workspace.

Your Calendar View

With approvals enabled posts on your calendar will show statuses indicating if they have been reviewed or approved.

Where Rejected Content Goes

If you select Don’t Post, Blaze removes the item from the calendar so it doesn’t go live by accident.

You’ll find it in two places:

  • The Project associated with that week, located in the bottom half of the navigation

  • The Recent folder

From there, you can make edits, regenerate, or reschedule the content
