Agency approval becomes calmer when a comment, a revision and permission to publish are recorded as different decisions.

## Start with the decision, not the tool

Agree at the start who owns product facts, brand identity, final approval, publishing and the live check. Do not make the client reconstruct those responsibilities from a long chat thread.

A useful answer keeps the audience, offer, source facts and next action visible. It does not treat an AI draft, a trend or a keyword as a substitute for deciding what a real person needs to understand.

## A practical framework

|  | Question | Working answer | What to verify

 | Draft | A complete asset, caption and destination | Show the version being reviewed

 | Comment | A specific concern or suggestion | State the required change and reason

 | Approval | Permission for that version | Include offer and destination checks

 | Publish | Delivery to the intended account | Verify the native live result

## Review before the content goes live

Use version names or timestamps that cannot be confused.

Mark factual, legal or offer changes as blocking until resolved.

Set response deadlines and an exception path for late feedback.

Keep client permissions separate from internal editing and publishing rights.

## How this connects to MagnutAI

The [agency workflow](https://try.magnutai.com/solutions/agencies/) and [campaign review feature](https://try.magnutai.com/features/campaign-review/) explain how context, comments and approval can stay together. Use [the brief builder](https://try.magnutai.com/templates/campaign-brief/) to define owner and reviewer fields before production.

The free resources on this hub are local planning tools. Account-based generation, connected publishing, current plans and integrations belong to the [MagnutAI product](https://www.magnutai.com/); verify availability there before promising a workflow.

## Measure the next cycle

Measure time from draft to approval, repeated correction types, missed deadlines and posts needing recovery. Use the evidence to improve onboarding and the next client brief.

Keep observed outcomes separate from predictions. A clearer process is a useful result even when the final business outcome needs a longer measurement window.

## Questions

### Does no response mean approved?

Only if the client agreement explicitly defines that process and the content type is appropriate. Otherwise, keep the item waiting for a clear decision.

### Who should have final approval?

The accountable person named in the engagement and brief should approve the exact version intended for publication.
