A social media approval workflow that does not live in email threads
Approval problems are usually routing problems: unclear owners, scattered feedback, duplicate revisions, and no reliable signal that a post is truly ready.

A five-stage workflow
- Draft: creator prepares copy, asset, channel variation, and campaign context.
- Internal review: editor or strategist checks quality and brand fit.
- Stakeholder approval: client, legal, or campaign owner reviews one canonical version.
- Lock & schedule: approved content is protected from accidental changes and scheduled.
- Postmortem: results and learnings feed the next content cycle.
What software should remove
- Copying drafts between docs and email.
- Unclear latest-version status.
- Approvers needing full platform access unnecessarily.
- Missed comments across channels.
- Scheduling a version that was not actually approved.
Where Vista Social fits
Vista Social’s current higher-tier positioning includes advanced approval workflows, internal/external collaboration, custom fields, and agency/client connection features. If approvals are your primary bottleneck, test this workflow during the trial rather than evaluating the platform only as a scheduler.

Roles and permissions
The supplied team-collaboration explainer identifies Admin, Restricted User, and custom per-feature permissions.
Approval setup
The same explainer says post approval workflows can be enabled for selected users, which is the specific workflow to verify during evaluation.
No merchant screenshot was added here because the screenshot package did not contain a dedicated approval-workflow image that improved this page.
