How to approve an item for a future date

To approve an item for a future date:

1. Navigate to the Content Review page.
2. Navigate to the Content Items tab. 
3. Select the program, course, and content status Pending Approval. 
4. Click the Details icon and select Approve. 
5. Select Future Approval and enter the date for the item to be approved on. 

Note: 
  1. If an item does not have a previously approved version (i.e. you have requested a Future Approval On for an item that was previously a draft v1) and is part of a learning workflow that is live to students, it will be treated as a "Draft" item and the student will receive an error message. 
  2. If an item has a previously approved version (i.e. you have requested a Future Approval On for an item that was previously a Approved V1) and is part of a learning workflow that is live to students, students will see the most recently approved version until the date for Future Approval On is set for. 
  3. When an item is Future Approval On, it cannot be edited or deleted. To edit or delete an item that is Future Approval On, it must be reverted back to draft.
