Unfortunately, it is not possible to directly edit a
Testimonial.
A Testimonial is something that someone else has added and signed, it
could be dishonest to allow the manager of the Tribute to edit a Testimonial
that looks like it was signed by someone else.
However, there are two options if a Testimonial needs to be
edited. The manager can remove any Testimonial and then it can be added again
with the corrections made. Or, if there is a simple mistake in the Testimonial,
like a spelling error, you may send a detailed message to
Support@SoldierTributes.com and we can edit the Testimonial for you.
|
|
Only the manager of a Tribute can delete a Testimonial. To delete a
Testimonial, first login to the Tribute. From the Manger Tribute page, click
the Remove Testimonials link under the Testimonial section. The Remove
Testimonials page will allow you to remove Testimonials.
|
|
A Tribute will be viewable online immediately after it is created. If
you are the manager of a Tribute, your Testimonials will also be viewable
immediately after you add them, as long as you add them while you are
logged in.
If you are not the manager of a Tribute, your Testimonial and/or
Picture will be viewable after the Manager approves it. The manager of the
Tribute will be sent an email notification or your Testimonial and/or
Picture immediately. Tribute managers must approve all Testimonials and
pictures before they are added to the Tribute; this ensures the integrity
of the Tribute. Most managers approve Testimonials and pictures very quickly.
Guestbook entries do NOT have to be approved by the Manager, and are
viewable immediately, however, the Tribute Manager does have to option to
remove guestbook entries.
