Approving classes before they go public
Classes a coach has created but not yet published. Approving one puts it on the website and opens it for booking; this is the gate between a coach writing a class and members seeing it.
The reviewer role, alongside coach applications. Both live under the Coaches menu as tabs.
Steps
- 1
Open Coaches → Class reviews.
You should see · The queue ① of classes waiting, each with its coach, time, price and how many people have already booked.
What it means · A booked count above zero means people are already holding seats on a class that is not public yet — they reached it by direct link. Those are the ones to look at first.
- 2
Use the status filters to review past decisions.
You should see · The same three states as coach applications: waiting, approved, rejected.
What it means · An empty queue reads "Nothing waiting for review" — that is the cleared state, not an error.
- 3
Scroll to the coach list and note the auto-approve switches.
You should see · Every coach with a toggle for "Auto-approve classes" and a count of how many of their classes are waiting.
What it means · Turning auto-approve on for a coach does two things, not one: their future classes skip this queue entirely, AND every class of theirs currently waiting is released live at that moment. The screen tells you how many went out.
⚠ Turning auto-approve on publishes that coach's waiting classes immediately. Check the count before you flip it.
How to tell it worked
- ✓The class leaves the waiting list and is reachable on the website.
- ✓The coach's class appears in the public Classes list at its scheduled time.
Problems
A coach says their class never appeared
Why · It is sitting in this queue. A class is not public until someone approves it or the coach has auto-approve on.
Fix · Find it here and decide. If that coach is trusted, consider auto-approve instead of reviewing each one.
Classes from one coach keep arriving for review
Why · That coach does not have auto-approve on.
Fix · Turn it on from the coach list at the bottom of this screen — but read the warning about their waiting classes first.
What cannot be undone
- ⚠ Approving publishes the class. Its title and description are live on the website straight away, with no second pass.
- ⚠ Turning on auto-approve for a coach releases all of their waiting classes at once. There is no per-class confirmation and no undo for the ones that went out.
