When your book's moderation mode is set to manual, every submission goes into a review queue before it appears publicly.

The moderation queue

Navigate to your book's detail page and click Moderation. You'll see a list of pending submissions, each showing:

  • The contributor's name (if provided)
  • The submission text
  • Any attached photos or media
  • When it was submitted and through which channel

Actions

  • Approve — the submission goes live and appears in the book.
  • Reject — the submission is removed and will not appear in the book.

Auto-approve mode

If you trust all your contributors, you can switch to auto-approve in your book settings. Submissions will appear immediately without review. You can still remove individual submissions later.

Tips

  • Check your moderation queue regularly, especially after sharing your book link at an event.
  • Use manual moderation for public books where anyone can submit, and auto-approve for private books with trusted contributors.
