Quick Approve
Quick Approve is a shortcut to all the new submissions and comments that your C2 invitations are receiving.
If you're receiving many submissions and/or comments every day, this tool cuts down on the time it takes you to approve or delete your new visitor-built content (also called user-generated content, or UGC).
Each tool (Approve New Submissions and Approve New Comments) is available by clicking on the applicable button in the C2 Library...
Each button shows the number of submissions or comments waiting for your approval.
Important Note
The Comments button will not always appear here, since your Comments Preferences are set per invitation.
If comments for a particular invitation do not require approval, they do not appear in Quick Approve. Only comments that require approval appear in this tool.

Click on the red and blue icon on the left to view the content of the submission (as it will appear if you publish it now with no edits) in a new window.
Click on the button to have a quick view of the submission title, author, author's location and email address, and the IP address used to submit the contribution.
Click on the link itself to manage that submission. This opens a new window with the Manage New Submissions tool page, where you can...

include (or exclude) this submission in your RSS feed and Blog It! page
You can also delete the submission, and, if desired, ban the contributor.
