Review and Approve

Review and Approve

This screen shows the list of books which are to be distributed to a distribution channel/channels by manual activation.

If you make any manual edits to a distribution item that hasn't been distributed yet, such as changing price, rights or metadata, the books will appear here waiting manual verification.

If you have disabled the Auto-Distribution feature when you configured a distribution Channel, the list of books to be distributed will be shown here until they are triggered for distribution manually.

The Review and Approve screen has a Filter Bar which you can use to sort the books by Title, ISBN, Author or the Distribution Channel where the book is to be distributed.

Once you have reviewed and approved a book for distribution it will no-longer be visible in this report and will immediately be moved to the Status | Distribution Alerts | Scheduled Deliveries report.
