Summary

The moderation feature in Annex Cloud simplifies the process of ensuring that User Generated Content aligns with your brand standards while addressing consumer inquiries effectively.

Designed to foster collaboration, the dashboard allows you to establish a moderate workflow and use tags to direct customer complaints to the appropriate team. You can even respond to customers directly from the dashboard. Additionally, to streamline the moderation process, you can set permission levels and track audit trails for improved oversight.

Before accessing the Moderation report, ensure that the Enable Image Moderation flag is activated in the UI settings of the ratings and reviews templates.
