Launchpad Approvals

No Approval is needed for a Launchpad Layout to be published in Korbyt
If you do not want Published Layouts to be seen on screen automatically

• Disable “Publish to Players/Player Groups” on Predefined Templates-

• Do not create any automation to show the content in the Playlist

  • Either do not include tags on the Template, or have the “approver” assign tags by hand

  • Or, add tags for organization, but do not have Clever Playlists that automate based on the tags
