Approvals, activity and pausing

Approvals

Section titled “Approvals”

At Standard, changes to live content, deletes and changes through other plugins go through these five steps; drafts and new images run straight away. At Trusted, steps 2 and 3 are skipped: supported changes run straight away and are still logged.

A change waits until you approve it. Your assistant gives you a link; you can also find waiting changes under AI Puffer › Usage › Website, marked Needs you.

The approval page shows what will change. For changes through another plugin, AI Puffer shows exactly what is sent, but it can’t know everything that plugin will do with it. Approve the changes you expect.

Activity

Section titled “Activity”

Every read and every change your assistants make is listed under AI Puffer › Usage › Website: who asked, as which user, what happened, and when. Search it, open any row for details, or follow See all website activity from the Manage my website card.

If something was interrupted

Section titled “If something was interrupted”

Sometimes a connection drops halfway. AI Puffer never sends such a change again by itself. The card shows A request was interrupted. Tell us whether it went through. Select Review, check the post or product, and say what happened.

Pause and disconnect

Section titled “Pause and disconnect”
  • Pause under Website changes stops every change on this site. Assistants can still read. Resume changes turns it back on.
  • Disconnect next to an assistant removes it.
  • Turn off disconnects every assistant and stops website management on this site. Your chatbot and other AI features aren’t affected.
