COMMUNITY OPERATIONS REVIEW · Workflow idea

Keep public community changes accurate, respectful, and moderator-approved.

For an authorized community task, inspect categories, groups, posts, and user records or prepare a new or updated item for review. Treat posts and profiles as personal or public-facing content, verify account and role permissions, respect community rules and consent expectations, and require a moderator or administrator to approve publication, edits, user creation, group membership, and removal actions.

The handoff

A proposed content or membership change with audience and moderator approval details.

Keep in mind

Posts may be visible to a broad audience, and group changes affect permissions. Preserve existing content and audit history, avoid reproducing private member details, check moderation context, and require a moderator to confirm public messages and membership changes before they take effect.

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.
