Hello, on our forum we have certain categories and every post submitted there requires a moderator’s approval. However, once post is approved, users are free to edit it however they want without it triggering approval in our requests queue. Is there any way we can change it from the settings and set it so that when users edit their post, it requires to be approved by moderators again.

Not quite what your looking for but might be of use
The purpose of this component is to encourage users to add edit reasons when they edit a post. Edit reasons are displayed at the top of a post’s edit history modal and are a great way to understand why something within a post was changed. This might be especially useful for users that are able to edit other users’ posts as it will help to avoid any “why did you edit my post?!” responses.
You can set posts to be locked from editing, if that would help?
There are several settings that can be adjusted for that:
In addition by default the edit history is public, so original version of post will still be published unless you change setting for that.
If someone wants a locked post to be edited they could then submit a request for that to be done by a moderator.
