You can see an overview of Community items in the filter pane.

The Pending section shows Community Topics and comments that need approval before becoming visible on the web portal.

The Status section shows all Community items which don’t need approval, filtered by status. Use the Channel or Labels tabs to filter by channel or labels instead.

Approving pending Community Topics and comments

Use the Community Topics to review filter to approve pending Community Topics.

To approve new Community Topics individually:

1. Click on the Community Topic. This will open in content pane.
2. Use the Disapprove/Approve buttons on the top right.

3. Click Approve to move the Topic to new status. Or click Disapprove to delete the topic. You can enter a brief explanation which will be emailed to the User who created the topic.

To approve multiple Community Topics at once, use the mass action:

1. Select the items you want to delete/approve using the check boxes to the left.
2. Click the Perform Actions button and select Approve or Delete.

If you choose to Delete items with a mass action, you can enter a single explanation to send to all the Users.

Use the Comments to Review filter to approve pending comments.

Approving comments works like approving Community Topics, except that:

• you can’t enter an explanation when deleting a comment
• you can Edit comments from the list pane; to edit a Community Topic you need to open it in the content pane
• you can click the Create Ticket button to make a Ticket based on the comment
