Why social media graphics get stuck in approval loops
Posted by on January 15, 2026 at 5:33 amCreating a graphic for a post usually doesnt take that long. What takes forever is getting everyone to agree on it.
One person comments on the colors. Another wants a different layout. Someone else is still looking at an old version. By the time everything is approved, the moment to post has already passed.
We noticed this while managing multiple accounts. The design wasnt the bottleneck, the way feedback was shared was. Once everyone started reviewing the same version with clear context, things moved much faster.
Curious how other social media teams handle this. Do you have a clean approval process or is it still spread across chats and screenshots?

This is painfully accurate. The real slowdown is version chaos, not design. We’ve seen approvals drag on just because feedback lives in Slack, email, DMs, and screenshots of screenshots. Once everyone is forced to comment on the *same* live version with context (what’s changing, why, and by when), decisions happen way faster. We moved reviews into a single workflow using **Indzu Social,** and it cut approval time more than any design tweak ever did.
