Comments App - Approval Settings

Hi, is there a setting / method for having (comments app) comments submitted and appearing on the site without the need for approval through the the Perch control panel? Thank you,

No, because you would end up with a lot of spam on the site if you did that.

Hi Rachel, I had planned a comments facility within a secured area using the members app, so in this case there would be no spam because only registered (trusted) members would be making the comments. It wouldn't work as intended if admin approval was required. Is there a possible workaround using perch custom or perch forms so that members could post/print/add content to an html page once logged in ?? Thank you

No, you'd need to build an app for that.
