How to review content in WordPress?

Navigate to your WordPress dashboard and follow these steps:

• On your WordPress dashboard, look for the meta box named “Content To Review.” This box displays posts that other users/teammates have requested for review.
• Click on the post you want to review from the “Content To Review” Meta Box.

• After opening the post, scroll down to locate the “Content Approval” meta box. In this meta box, you have the option to approve the content. On approval, a notification email will be sent to the requester (the person who requested the approval).

In the process of approval, a lot of times it may happen that the content is not up to the mark or some feedback is to be given to the requester/writer. The Content Approval Workflow plugin has the provision of providing feedback via mail.
