I was trying to figure out a workflow where draft topics created by a specific user requires approval from someone in an ‘Editor’ Group before the topic becomes visible.
As all topics will come from a specific users, is there a way to force all topics from a user to require approval? Or is there a way to manually flag a topic to require approval? I though also about using the ‘flag’ system for this, which is one workaround but then I think only moderators will be able to review the topic.

Hi Isambard,

In [category settings](https://meta.discourse.org/t/available-settings-within-the-category-edit-page/248435) you can select that _all_ topics go through approval

In the image above below ‘Moderation’ you can set a group name. In your case I think [category moderators](https://meta.discourse.org/t/category-group-review-moderation/116478) would work nicely. You can see what ‘powers’ category moderatos have in this topic [here](https://meta.discourse.org/t/trust-level-permissions-table-inc-moderator-roles/224824).

There is a manual way to put items in the review queue but this way seems ineffective as it makes you choose a flag option and just wanting to review a topic doesn’t fit the bill of any of the flagging options in my opinion.
🤔 _As a side note… maybe the ‘Queue For review’ Button should always be clickable or else you might as well just flag the post normally its the same amount of clicks._

I think you can add custom flag types soon. Then you could create a review flag.

A special category plus category moderators was also one of my first thoughts.
This does limit that all posts have to go to a specific category. I guess I could add some kind of post-approve hook to then re-categorize it or task the reviewers with manually doing that as part of the review step.
