Reviewing Claims, Edits and New Listings

Written by Melinda Haughey

This article is about the Proxi admin app at app.proxi.co.

Listing Updates is the one place everything to do with your listings waits for you. It's a card at the top of your Listings page, and it only appears when there's something to look at — no empty inbox staring at you on a quiet week.

The heading tells you the size of the job: "3 items need your review."

The Three Things That Land Here

  • Someone wants to manage a listing. You see their name and email, which business they're asking about, their phone if they gave one, and their note. It reads like "Sam Ortiz · [email protected] — Wants to manage Blue Heron Bakery."

  • A new business signed up. Tagged New Listing. Approving it creates the listing from what they filled in.

  • Someone suggested changes to a business you already have. Tagged Listing Update. Approving applies their answers to the existing listing.

Every row has Approve and Decline. If a submission also said they'd like to look after the listing, the row says "wants to manage it" so you can decide both things at once.

Declining Kindly

Choosing Decline opens a box asking why. Whatever you write goes to the person in their email. It takes ten seconds and it's the difference between a business feeling brushed off and understanding what to fix — "we only list businesses inside the district" saves everyone a follow-up.

Watching What Managers Change

Once you've approved someone, their later edits go live straight away — that's the point of handing over the keys. But you still see everything they do.

Underneath the review card there's a quiet link reading Manager activity with a count. Open it and you get a running list: who changed what, when, and the exact before and after for each thing — the old value with a line through it, the new value beside it.

Each entry gives you two choices:

  • Revert — puts the old value back. The entry then shows a Reverted badge so you know it's been dealt with.

  • Dismiss — clears it from the list without changing anything. This is the one you'll use most, for changes that are simply fine.

This is what makes self-service comfortable. You're not approving each edit one by one, but nothing is happening behind your back either.

Good to Know

  • Approving a claim adds that person as an Editor on that single listing and emails them a portal sign-in link.

  • The manager activity list stays available even when nothing needs review — the review card hides, the activity link doesn't.

  • A reverted change doesn't email the manager. If it matters, tell them why — they may have had a reason.
