Global Area Approval
Permalink
I've been trying to solve a problem today regarding a Global Area. I added the area to display a custom block on all the pages, working in edit mode all was fine and the block was displayed. When I logged out my custom block was not displayed at all.
After some debugging and looking into what was happening, I noticed the version number of the Global Area block displayed in edit mode was different to the one when logged out. Looking at the CollectionVersions the cvIsApproved flag was set on the first instance of the GA block, i.e. when I created it. Subsequent edits to the GA have resulted in subsequent versions but the vcIsApproved flag does not change.
How are you suppose to approve an edit to a GA? There appears to be nothing in the GUI to do this. I have made it work by hacking the table value but obviously this is not how it should be.
Am I missing something? Is this a bug?
Any help would be appreciated.

If you forget to hit publish, you can go into Dashboard > Stacks & Blocks > Stacks, click "Global Areas" in the Header, locate the global area in the list, click through, and click the "Approve Button".
