After your campaign is activated, the next thing you do on anchors is review what creators submit before anything goes live on LinkedIn. This page covers the full review flow — from opening a draft to setting the final go-live date — and how notifications keep you updated throughout.Documentation Index

No post goes live without your approval. Every draft goes through your review first. If you do not act on a draft, it stays in pending state and the creator cannot publish.
Where to find campaigns waiting for review
Go to All Campaigns in the left sidebar. You will see three tabs: Live, Review Pending, and Draft. Campaigns that need your attention sit under the Review Pending tab.
Each row in the list shows:
| Column | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Campaign name | The name you gave when creating the campaign |
| Campaign ID | Unique identifier for internal reference |
| Created date | When the campaign was set up |
| Campaign expense | Total amount paid for this campaign |
| Influencers shortlisted | Total number of creators selected |
| Influencers confirmed | How many have accepted the campaign invite so far |
| Status | Current campaign status |
| Action | Click View Details to open the review workspace |
The draft review workspace
This is your main working area once a campaign is live. It shows you every creator in the campaign, where they are in the process, and what needs your attention.
Status summary cards
At the top of the workspace, five numbers give you a quick health check of the campaign:| Card | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Selected Influencers | Total creators in this campaign |
| Accepted Influencers | Creators who have confirmed and are working on their draft |
| Drafts Submitted | Creators who have submitted a draft for your review |
| Drafts Approved | Drafts you have already approved |
| Suggestions Added | Drafts where you have sent back change requests |
Influencer table
Below the summary cards, every creator is listed in a table with the following columns:| Column | What it means |
|---|---|
| Influencer | Creator name and profile |
| Status | Where they are in the flow — accepted, draft submitted, changes requested, approved |
| Opt-in state | Whether the creator has formally accepted the campaign |
| Last draft timing | When they last submitted or updated a draft |
| Your action timing | When you last took action on their draft |
| Urgency | Flags creators whose drafts need faster attention |
| Action | Button to open that creator’s draft |
Reviewing a creator’s draft
Click Check Draft on any creator row to open their draft review panel. This is where the actual review happens.
The panel brings together everything you need to review the draft without switching between screens:
Post preview
Shows exactly how the creator’s post will look before it goes live. You can toggle between mobile and desktop preview to check how it reads across different viewing formats.
Attached media
If the creator has included images or videos, they appear here. Check that the media matches what you asked for in the brief and that it represents the product accurately.Campaign brief reference
The original brief you sent this creator is accessible directly inside the review panel. Use it to compare what you asked for against what was submitted. This removes any “I thought you meant…” back and forth.Suggestions left
This shows how many change request rounds you have remaining with this creator. Each campaign has a set number of revision cycles per creator.Giving feedback on a draft
If the draft needs changes, use Suggest Changes to send feedback to the creator.
Write your feedback
Use the Give Suggestions field to write clear, specific instructions. Tell the creator exactly what to change and why if needed. Vague feedback like “make it better” leads to another round of revisions.Good feedback looks like:
- “Remove the third paragraph, it reads like an ad. Keep the opening and the closing.”
- “Add a mention of the free trial. The brief asked for this but it is missing.”
- “The tone is too formal for this creator’s usual style. Ask them to write it more conversationally.”
Attach a reference image if needed
If your feedback involves a visual change, you can attach a reference image directly in the suggestions panel.
You can remove a suggestion before submitting if you change your mind. Once submitted, it goes to the creator immediately.
Approving a draft
When a draft looks good, click Approve Post to confirm it.
A confirmation pop-up will appear before the approval goes through. Read it carefully because approval is permanent, once you approve, the draft cannot be sent back for revision.
After approval, the creator moves to the next stage where you assign their go-live date.
Setting live dates
After a draft is approved, you need to assign a go-live date for that creator. This happens on the Set Live Dates page, which you can access from the left-side campaign progress panel.
The page shows a table of all approved creators with a Set Custom option next to each one.
Pick a date
Select the date you want that creator to go live. The calendar only shows dates within your campaign window.
Staying on top of things with notifications
You do not have to keep checking the workspace manually. anchors sends you notifications whenever something in the campaign changes. Click the bell icon in the top navigation to open the notifications panel. It slides open as a side drawer so you can check updates without leaving your current screen.
Notification tabs
| Tab | What it shows |
|---|---|
| All | Every notification in the account |
| Unread | Only notifications you have not seen yet |
| Read | Notifications you have already opened |
Types of notifications you will receive
| Notification | What it means |
|---|---|
| Draft submitted | A creator has submitted a draft and is waiting for your review |
| Draft approved | Confirmation that you approved a draft |
| Changes requested | A reminder that you have sent feedback and the creator is revising |
| Live date set | Confirmation that a go-live date has been assigned for a creator |
| Creator accepted the campaign | A creator has confirmed they are participating |
Common mistakes to avoid during review
Leaving drafts unreviewed for too long
Leaving drafts unreviewed for too long
Creators are waiting on your approval before they can publish. A draft sitting for 2 to 3 days without a response delays the whole campaign and can push posts outside your intended date window. Try to review within a few hours of receiving a draft.
Giving vague feedback
Giving vague feedback
Feedback like “not quite right” or “change the tone” without specifics gives the creator nothing concrete to work with. They will resubmit something similar and you will use up another revision round. Be direct about exactly what needs to change.
Approving without reading the full post
Approving without reading the full post
The post preview shows you exactly what will go live. Read the full post, check the attached media, and compare it against your original brief before clicking Approve. Once approved, there is no way to pull it back through the platform.
Setting the same live date for all creators
Setting the same live date for all creators
All creators posting on the same day about the same brand is one of the most common giveaways of a bulk influencer campaign. It reduces perceived authenticity and often hurts engagement. Stagger by at least a day between creators.
Not using the brief reference during review
Not using the brief reference during review
The original brief is accessible right inside the draft review panel. Use it. If a creator has missed something you specifically asked for, you have documented proof of what was requested and can give clear, grounded feedback.
