Require approval for changes

For a diagram that describes a production or OT network, you can require that an admin approves every change.

Switch it on (admins and owners)

1. Open the diagram and go to its Changes page. The approval banner at the top of the diagram links to it.
2. Turn on Require approval for editors.

As an editor

Your direct edits to that diagram are now refused, and the banner points you to the Changes page.

1. On the Changes page, enter a title and a reason, then click Open change request and edit draft.
2. ApexDiagram makes a draft copy of the diagram and opens it. Edit the draft with every normal tool.
3. An admin reviews it from the same Changes page. Until then, you can Withdraw it, which deletes the draft.

Reviewing (admins)

Open the change request to see the diff against the live diagram, then click Approve (with an optional note) or Reject (with the reason). Approving saves a version of the live diagram first, then replaces it with the draft.

There's no conflict detection: if the live diagram changed while the draft was open, approving replaces those changes too. Use the safety version to recover them.
