Can I set my guestbook so that new entries are only displayed after I approve them?

Yes, you can do that indeed.

Here’s how you can go about it:

- From the ‘Site Structure’ menu, select the Webpage which contains the Guestbook [a]

- Left-click on the Guestbook [b] to edit it then click on ‘Settings’ [c] at the ‘Format’ menu level

Configure the Guestbook

- Uncheck the box ‘Show all new guestbook entries automatically’ [a] and hit ‘Save’ [b]

Show all new guestbook entries automatically

No need to republish your Website, the changes are effective immediately after hitting the ‘Save’ button at the Guestbook Settings level.

When there is a new entry added to the Guestbook, you’ll get automatically an email notification on the email address the Guestbook is setup with and you can approve or delete it as follows:

- Edit your Website and select the Webpage containing the Guestbook from the ‘Site Structure’ menu [a]

- At a pending entry section level, click on ‘Approve’ [b] if you wish to approve it or on ‘x’ [c] to delete it

Approve the pending entry

After approving an entry, it will be automatically displayed online on your Guestbook without republishing your Website.
