Approvals for Content Not in the Content Library - Any Recommended Workarounds?
Originally asked by a community member in the Litmos Community forum on 7 April 2025.
We have a business need to require approvals for a course that we don't want in the Content Library. Instead, we want that course to be available and visible only to one of our teams. Then, within that team, we still want to have approvals configured.
I created an enhancement request in the Aha Portal (LIT-I-5991), but in the meantime, how have you managed approvals when the course is not in the Content Library? Thank you!

HI Beth, Cant you added to the Team Library and mark the course settings that it needs approval?

Unfortunately, no. The only way the approval options on a course or Learning Path become enabled is by checking off the Content Library checkbox on the Settings tab.

Perhaps I’m not fully understanding what you’re trying to achieve. I added a course to a Team Library, and I still had the option to tick the approval box within the course itself. Please see the attached screenshot for reference.

Thanks so much, Steve! I did some further digging this morning and I am able to see the approval section and check boxes to a course I added to one of our teams (and not the Content Library)!
Interestingly, Litmos Support indicated that this configuration was not possible.
Thank you again for your help!
