6. Approval Workflow

InformationThe Publisher’s job is to approve content submitted by creators in a specific folder. To access this feature, you need to contact the Help Desk (940-HELP) and request that you be assign a ‘Publisher’ role. 

Turning on session approval for a specific folder:

1. First navigate to your desired folder in Panopto then click on the ‘gear’ or ‘Settings’.

2. Scroll down and select the radio button labeled ‘When approved by a publisher’.

3. After that is applied in settings, go to the ‘Share’ tab within the folder and give your desired user Publisher access.

4. After a user is given the Publisher permissions then you may begin approving and rejecting content.

Request approval of sessions:

1. Navigate to your recently uploaded session.

2. Click on the ‘Settings’ button for that session. From there you can request the session to be approved.

Approving or rejecting sessions:

1. You want to first navigate to your recently uploaded session as the Publisher.

2. Click on settings.

3. To the right of the ‘Approval’ text you can choose whether to Cancel, Approve, or Reject the session.

4. From there all you have to do is click ‘Approve’ and the session will be approved. You can ‘Reject’ the session after you have approved it if it was deemed as a mistake.

5. After you click the ‘Reject’ button it will ask you to provide a reason for rejecting it. The Creator of the content will receive an e-mail about the rejection and the reason that the Publisher rejected it.

6. You can also reapprove it after you have rejected it.
