The Playlist Publishing feature allows you to decide who can and cannot publish a playlist.
This feature is great for accounts with many users where an administrator would like to oversee content before it is published.

Publishing your Playlist
When this feature is enabled, playlist changes will be saved as draft, the user can then click 'send a publish request' to be reviewed and approved. An email alert will be sent to the designated 'playlist approver' with a link to that respective playlist.
The playlist will be published only after the "Publish" button from the Playlist page is clicked by a user with publishing permissions.
Example:
When you've made any changes to a playlist, the "publish" button will appear to a user with publishing permissions as seen below.
(visible to ONLY the approver) Click the publish button to make the playlist live on your screens linked to that playlist.
