Approving and activating an offer approving-and-activating-an-offer
Once the offer content is complete, you need to approve it for it to be duplicated into the live environment and delivered. Approval concerns the offer content and its eligibility.
The banner on the offer dashboard tells you whether the offer needs to go through the approval cycle or not.
Approving offer content approving-offer-content
Approving offer content means selecting the representation(s) that you want to make available in the live environment.
The content of an offer has one representation per space. As each offer space has its own structure and its own rendering functions, the offer representation can vary.
You can choose to approve the offer content on certain available spaces and reject it on others.
To approve the offer content, apply the following steps:
-
Click the Approval button and select Approve content in popup.
-
Using the drop-down list, select the representations you want to keep editing or those you want to publish to the live environment, then click Content approval.
Once the offer content is approved, the information is updated on the offer dashboard table.
note note NOTE The Content approved mention does not mean that all the offer representations have been enabled and approved. It indicates that the content approval process has been achieved, whether all offers have been enabled/approved or not.
Approving offer eligibility approving-offer-eligibility
Approving offer eligibility means accepting or rejecting offer weights and the eligibility rules also configured in the offer or inherited from the rules created in the parent category.

- Click Content approved on the offer dashboard.

Publishing the offer publishing-the-offer
Once the content and eligibility of an offer have both been approved, the offer is published by a workflow that automatically runs for each offer whose approval cycle has finished. The Offer notification workflow also runs every hour in order to synchronize (if necessary) the spaces and categories contained in the offer catalog from the design environment to the live environment.
The dashboard of the offer available in the design environment contains information regarding publishing, including the name of the matching offer in the live environment.
To display the offer that is available in the live environment, click the offer label: the live offer has a dashboard that contains all its relevant information.
Disabling an offer disabling-an-offer
Once the offer is approved, you can disable it.
To do this, go to the dashboard for an online offer or an offer waiting to go online, then click Disable offer.
You can also directly disable a category by going to the Eligibility tab and checking the Enabled box.
