Are you an admin user who has access to create or edit a post but not publish it? This article will help you understand how it works.

Request a post to be published

Admin users who are not granted permission to publish posts will see this when drafting a post in the Posts module.

Once the admin user clicks Save, the Request Publish button will appear in the bottom right corner.

Once they click Request Publish, a window will appear confirming that they are requesting that this post be published on the live website.

When this button is clicked, admin users with higher levels are notified of this request by an email notification. The page status will now display a pink "Publish Request" flag on the post that is Pending Publish.
