The Social settings page shows your subscription's Social configuration and a log of recent Social administration activity. Approval before publishing is no longer switched on here: it is handled by publishing sign-off rules, which you set up from a post. Go to **Account → Settings → Social**.

## Before you start

- Social must be included in your package. See [Package and add-ons](/account-and-access/package-and-add-ons).
- You need permission to view Social settings. This is usually given to subscription administrators. See [Users, teams, groups and permissions](/account-and-access/users-teams-groups-and-permissions).
- If Social is still being set up for your subscription, you'll see **Initialising your Social service...** instead of the settings. Select **Try again** after a few moments.

## Approval before publishing

To make posts go through approval before they are published, open any social post and use **Configure a publishing sign-off rule** in its **Publishing Sign-off** panel. A rule applies to every item that matches its **Content type** and **Conditions**, not only the post you set it up from. Posts to LinkedIn always need sign-off, whatever your rules say. See [Approving social posts before they publish](/grow/social-post-approval) and [Social posts and the calendar](/grow/social-posts-and-calendar).

## Connecting accounts

Company and personal social accounts are connected in **Grow → Social → Accounts**, not on this page. See [Social accounts and social campaigns](/grow/social-accounts-and-campaigns).

## Audit logs

Below the **Configuration** panel, **Audit logs** lists recent Social administration activity for your subscription. Select **Refresh** to load the latest entries. If nothing has been recorded yet, you'll see **No audit logs**.
