Content Review

Review and approve creator content before it goes live, and see what happens after you approve.

3 min read

Content Review is where you approve creator content before it goes live, or send it back with feedback. Creators upload drafts, your Fohr team reviews them first, and what reaches you has already had a pass.

This article is for brands whose campaigns Fohr runs. What you see here is a deliberately shorter version of the full workflow.

Before you start

Content Review has to be enabled on the campaign. Your Fohr team sets that up.

You will not see everything a creator submits, and that is intentional. Content sitting with Fohr for an initial review is hidden until it's ready for you. Your queue is what has already passed that check.

The stages you'll see

Five, and you'll usually only act on the first.

StageWhat it means
Brand ReviewWaiting on you. This is your queue
Brand RejectedYou sent it back. Your Fohr team is handling the revision with the creator
In Creator EditThe creator is reworking it
Brand ApprovedYou've approved. Your Fohr team is finalising — see below
ApprovedFully approved. The creator has been told they can post
ℹ️
Your approval is the decision, not the last step. Approving moves content to Brand Approved, and your Fohr team then finalises it — which is what actually notifies the creator they're clear to post.

So a piece of content sitting at Brand Approved is not stuck and is not waiting on you. If it needs to move faster, that's a conversation with your Fohr team rather than something to click.

Reviewing a piece of content

Click any card to open it.

ActionWhat it does
ApproveSigns off. Moves to Brand Approved for your Fohr team to finalise
Return to FohrSends it back with your feedback. The form takes notes on the media and the caption separately, so keep them apart — it makes the revision request much clearer

Your feedback goes to your Fohr team, who work through it with the creator on your behalf. You are not messaging the creator directly.

Carousels and multi-asset posts

Where a submission has several frames, you can mark each one individually with Approve Frame or Reject Frame. Move between them with the arrows or the selector dots; approved frames show green, rejected red, and unreviewed grey.

Mark the frames before you send anything back. Returning a submission without marking any means nothing carries through to the next round, and the creator gets a revision request with no indication of which image was the problem.

Comments

Comments on a piece of content are how you and your Fohr team discuss it. Yours are shared with your Fohr team by default.

Creators do not see your comments here, and you do not see theirs. Anything that needs to reach the creator goes through your Fohr team, which is what Return to Fohr is for.

Common mistakes

MistakeWhat happens
Treating Brand Approved as unfinished businessIt's done from your side. Your Fohr team finalises it from there
Returning content without marking framesNothing carries into the next round, so the creator is guessing at what to change
Putting media and caption notes in one boxThe form separates them because the creator acts on them separately. Combined feedback tends to produce a partial fix
Waiting for content that never appearsYou only see content once it has cleared your Fohr team's first pass. A quiet queue usually means it's still with them
