ViralSweep allows you to moderate contest submissions before they appear in your gallery. This helps you review content and approve or deny submissions based on your contest rules.
You can choose whether submissions are manually approved or automatically approved.
Configure Submission Approval
To change how submissions are approved:
Edit → Gallery → Content Approval
You can choose between two moderation options.
Manual Approval
Submissions will not appear in the gallery until you review and approve them.
This option is recommended if you want full control over what content appears publicly.
Automatic Approval
Submissions will appear in the gallery immediately after they are submitted.
You can still review and remove submissions later if needed.
How to Moderate Submissions
To review submissions:
Go to your dashboard.
Locate your promotion.
Click Moderate.
You will land on the Pending tab, which displays submissions waiting for review.
From here you can:
Click the ✓ checkmark to approve a submission
Click the ✕ icon to deny a submission
Click the submission to open a larger preview
In the preview view, you can also:
Rotate images
Edit captions
Submission Status Tabs
Submissions are organized into three tabs.
Pending
Submissions waiting to be reviewed.
Approved
Submissions that appear in the gallery.
Denied
Submissions that were rejected and will not appear publicly.
Note:
If your gallery is set to Automatic Approval, submissions will still appear in the Pending tab so you can review them if needed.
Sorting Submissions
You can sort submissions within the Moderate section using the dropdown menu.
Available sorting options include:
Most Recently Submitted
Most Votes
Most Recent Hashtag Entries
Most Recent Hashtag Votes
Sorting helps you quickly review popular or recent submissions.
