Hi everyone,
I’d like to suggest a small but impactful addition to the Editor workflow: a combined Save & Approve button, visible only to users with Proofreader permissions or higher.
Current workflow:
When working under a filtered view (e.g., QA Issues > All, or Unsaved Translations), editing and saving a string causes it to disappear immediately from the list, since it no longer matches the active filter. To approve it, I then have to switch filters, locate the string again, and approve it separately — doubling the effort.
What already exists (and works well):
I’m aware of Auto-approve and the recently improved Approve button placement right after Save (April 2026 update). Both are helpful, but they don’t fully address this specific case.
Auto-approve approves everything automatically, which isn’t always desirable, especially when working in batches where context comparison across similar strings is part of the quality check before committing to an approval.
The proposed addition:
A Save & Approve button (shown only to Proofreaders and above) that saves and approves in a single action. This would be especially useful when:
- Correcting confirmed errors or false positives under QA filters
- The translation is already verified and context-confirmed
- The proofreader wants to avoid a second pass through a different filter
This keeps full manual control for cases requiring more review, while eliminating unnecessary navigation for cases that are clearly resolved.
Happy to hear if others have faced the same friction. Thanks for considering it!
