Approve and post the drops
Each drop posts by itself at its time once somebody has approved it.
How to do it
- Open the mission's Schedule page and open a drop, or look at the preview beside a step in the wizard.
- Read it, then press Approve. If its time has already come it posts at once; otherwise it shows Approved and posts on the day.
- Changed your mind before it posts? Withdraw approval. A drop you will not use at all, or posted by hand, gets Don't post.
Worth knowing
- An approval is for exactly the words and images you read, at that time. Edit the drop afterwards, or move the op date, and it says Needs re-approval and will not post until somebody approves it again.
- A drop whose time comes without an approval is Held: the mission team channel is pinged once, and it posts the minute it is approved.
- Approving a change to a drop that already posted edits the posted message in place, Part 1/2 and images included.
- When the drop that opens the ORBAT posts, sign-ups start by themselves on the mission's ORBAT, with H-Hour as the start time. They never replace an operation that is still to be played: then the team channel is told, and Start sign-ups now on the Schedule page does it once that one is over.
- A test campaign's drops go to the mission team channel only, never start sign-ups, and are deleted from Discord with the campaign. A real campaign's posted drops stay in Discord when it is deleted.
- Set the drop channel and the mission team channel in Campaigns → Settings — nothing posts without them.
