# Content checks and reports

> How new content is checked before it goes live, what a review means, how to appeal if publishing is paused, and how visitors report a site.

https://www.launchfolio.live/docs/en/content-checks · 2026-10-31

Every site on Launchfolio follows the same content rules. Before your changes go live, what’s new is checked. Visitors can also report a site that breaks the rules.

## What’s checked when you publish

- When you press **Publish**, **Publish this design** or **Put this version live**, only what’s new since your live site is checked: the words, links and pictures you added or changed. What’s already live isn’t checked again.
- Most of the time it takes a moment and your changes go live as usual.
- A video you upload as a background is always looked at by a person on our team first, and so is a picture the check can’t open.
- Your email address and phone number aren’t part of the check.

> **Good to know:** If you see **We couldn’t check your changes just now. Please try publishing again in a minute**, nothing went live. Wait a minute and press **Publish** again.

## When your changes wait for a review

If something needs a look from our team, you see **Your changes are waiting for a quick review**. Your live site stays exactly as it was until then. You can keep editing, and you can change it and publish again.

*What we email you once we’ve looked. The bell shows it too.*
| What we decided | What happens |
| --- | --- |
| **Your changes are live** | They were fine and we put them live. Nothing for you to do. |
| **Your changes are approved** | They were fine, but you changed things since. Press **Publish** again. What we approved won’t be stopped again. |
| **Some changes can’t go live** | Your site stays as it was. Change or remove what goes against our rules, then publish again. Our email says why when we leave a note. |

## A note from our team

Sometimes we ask you to change something without stopping anything. You get an email, and **A note from our team** shows at the top of your dashboard, the editor and the Designer for 7 days. Your site stays live. Visitors never see it.

## If publishing is paused

When content goes against our rules, we can pause publishing on your account. You get an email with the reason. At the top of your dashboard, the editor and the Designer you see **Publishing is paused on your account**, and **Publish** becomes **Publishing paused**.

- It covers every site on your account.
- You can still sign in, edit your drafts, and take a site offline with **Unpublish (hide my page)**.
- Your live site stays as it is, unless we took it offline too. The email says which.

1. **Press **See why and appeal** in the banner, or press **Publishing paused**** — You see why, in our words, and a link to our content rules.
2. **Under **Think we got it wrong?**, write your appeal** — At least 20 characters: what the content is and why it’s fine.
3. **Press **Send appeal**** — A person reads it. While it waits, the same place says **We have your appeal**. You can have one appeal waiting at a time.
4. **We email you our answer** — If we agree, publishing comes back on straight away (publish again if we took your site offline). If not, our answer shows in the same place, and you can send another appeal.

## If your account is closed

For serious or repeated problems we can close an account. You can’t sign in any more and your sites go offline. We email you the reason. If you think it’s a mistake, reply to that email.

## Report a site

Every live site has **Report** at the very bottom of the page. It’s there whatever the site looks like, on its Launchfolio address and on its own domain.

1. **Press **Report** at the bottom of the site** — The **Report this site** window opens, in the site’s language.
2. **Pick what’s wrong** — For example **Sexual or adult content**, **Scam, fraud or phishing** or **Political content**.
3. **Add details and your email if you like** — Both are optional. Details can be up to 1000 characters. We only use your email to ask you more about it.
4. **Press **Send report**** — Your report goes to the Launchfolio team. The site’s owner doesn’t see who reported it.

> **Tip:** You can report the same site once a day. If you try again, you see **Thanks — we already have your report about this site.**

## Questions

**Does every publish wait for a person?**
No. Only when the check finds something that needs a look, or you add a background video. Everything else goes live straight away.

**Does the message say what needs a review?**
Not in the app. When we look at it, our email tells you, and if we can’t put it live we leave a note when we can.

**I removed what needed a review. Can I publish?**
Yes. Press **Publish**: if nothing else needs a look, your changes go live straight away.

**Who sees my report?**
Only the Launchfolio team. The site’s owner is never told who reported it.
