Key takeaways
- Review the post as it will render on Bluesky, not as raw text.
- A reviewer approves via a guest link — no Bluesky or SkedCast login required.
- Check reply and quote-post context, since Bluesky threads carry meaning a caption alone does not.
- Every decision keeps a timestamped history and comment thread on the post.
Bluesky post approval workflow: what a Bluesky reviewer should check
Bluesky posts are short and often part of a thread, so a reviewer needs the surrounding context, not just the single post text. Check that any linked or quoted post still says what you intend it to say next to the new post, that handles are correct (Bluesky handles are domain-based and easy to mistype), and that the post reads correctly at the 300-character limit without an awkward mid-sentence cut.
Set up the review stage
Route drafts through an internal reviewer first if you have one, then the client. A guest approval link lets the client review from wherever the post is opened, with the post rendered as it will publish, no Bluesky handle or SkedCast seat needed on their end.
Keep the record
Approvals, rejections and comments stay attached to the post itself. When a client asks "who approved the post that mentioned the wrong launch date," the answer is on the post, not buried in a DM thread.
FAQ
- Does a client need a Bluesky account to approve a post?
- No. Approval happens through a guest link on the post itself — the client does not need a Bluesky handle or a SkedCast account to review or approve it.
- Can I require two rounds of review before a Bluesky post goes out?
- Yes. Multi-stage approvals are available from SkedCast's Studio plan up, so you can set an internal reviewer first and the client second, or whatever chain fits how you work with a given account.
- What happens if the client rejects a Bluesky post?
- The post moves back to draft with the client's comment attached, so the writer sees exactly what to change instead of guessing from a vague "no."
