โ“ Issue/Question

  • How can I set up validation on uploads?
  • Can I make a user a validator?
  • Trying to validate submissions in this contest but they're not going through

ย 

๐Ÿ‘Œ Resolution/Answer

  • When you invite a new user
    • Turn on Requires validation. Every upload from this user needs approval before it is published

ย 

  • For external upload links
    • When you create the link, turn on Requires validation. Every upload through the link needs approval before it is published

ย 

  • For existing users (Users page)
    • Validator: turn it on so the user can approve uploads from others
    • Validation required: turn it on so the user's uploads need approval
      • To stop validation, turn it off on the user. Their uploads are then published without approval
