No surprise playtests, no budget spent without the right person taking a look. ## How it works **Collaborators** on your team can now build a playtest order, and then send it for approval to **Admins** and **Creators**. The order appears in a new *Waiting for approval* tab on the *My Playtests* page, and approvers get an email right away. Once it's approved, the playtest starts automatically. If it's sent back, it returns to drafts. ![Screenshot of how the approval flow looks on the platform from the Collaborator's perspective](https://start.playtestcloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Intercom%20post.png?width=2000&height=1126&name=Intercom%20post.png) **Admins** and **Creators** find submitted orders in the new *Waiting for approval* tab on their *My Playtests* page. From the order summary they can approve the playtest, edit it directly before starting it or send it back to the sender. Small fix needed? Approvers can make it themselves instead of bouncing the order back. ![Screenshot of how the approval flow looks on the platform from the approver's perspective.](https://start.playtestcloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Intercom%20post%202.png?width=2000&height=1126&name=Intercom%20post%202.png) ## TL;DR Approvals are on for all Professional Advanced and Enterprise teams starting today: - Team admins and creators can order and approve - Collaborators submit orders for approval - Viewers can view and annotate If you’re an Admin, check out your *Add/remove teammates* tab on the menu to review your team’s roles!   Tags: [Product Update](https://start.playtestcloud.com/product-updates/tag/product-update) ![PlaytestCloud Team](https://start.playtestcloud.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Favicon-1.png?width=120&height=120&name=Favicon-1.png) **[PlaytestCloud Team](https://start.playtestcloud.com/product-updates/author/playtestcloud-team)** July 22, 2026 at 12:26 PM We're PlaytestCloud and we help game studios gather feedback from their target players and make more successful games.
