Review of new/changed Codeshares takes too much time :-(

Hi DevCentral Team,

The mandatory "review" step is slighly annoying and somehow kills the dynamic of Codeshares. Why do I have to wait a few days till the CodeShare is published and why do I have to wait another few days to correct a simple typo?

Example: 

iRule based RADIUS Health Monitor Builder - DevCentral (f5.com)

The Github link at the buttom of the Codeshare got somehow broken during initial publishing.  I immediately corrected the link, but now having to wait another couple days till its review is done?

Why even review a CodeShare if such broken links are not detected before approving it?

Cheers, Kai

    Agree Kai_Wilke 

    Patrik_Jonsson - you and I worked through this at one time or another correct? Or it was a suggestion you made somewhere I think?

    Kai - you may have noticed some updates to your codeshare (I didn't actually change any content TBF) as I was testing what I *THOUGHT* would work. But it didn't - I'll have to reserve some time with a dev to get to the bottom of this.

    Plan is to resolve this for MVPs for both CodeShare and Community Articles.
    We still get some SPAM and mis-appropriated content in CodeShare / Community articles that having an approval step helps keep that from getting out of hand.

    Yes, seen that one too.

    Feels like I've hit every bug there is on the code share. On each platform. 😂

    Well - thanks Kai_Wilke for submitting this suggestion.
    And - Patrik_Jonsson I looked and couldn't locate an earlier suggestion record or conversation on this between us but couldn't find it. Either way, thanks for putting up with it.

    The bad news is I don't always have a way to solve our problems.
    Good news is, in this case I did solve the problem - MVPs (and Admins) are now able to Create/Publish, Edit/Publish (in CodeShare and Community Articles) without having to wait for approval by community Admins.

    Marking as Delivered.

    You are welcome Kai.
    I did get a little bit over my ski's on this one and after a review with the team I'm modifying the permissions just a little bit.
    End result - you will still be able to Create/Publish/Edit/Publish in Codeshare - the most critical use-case.
    But Community Articles will stay an "approval required" destination for all.
