In the following post, http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/user-generated-post-title-content-and-image, reference is made to the approval/editing process. I saw this somewhere else as well. Gravity Forms allows a choice between draft, pending, and published. If I select published, a post is created. If I select draft, I presume I would have to open the post and then publish it, same as if I was the author. But what about pending? How do you approve a post and where do you do it?

Approval/editing Process
-
Pending and draft are ALMOST the same thing. In a larger site, you might have authors and editors. An author would leave the post status as draft while they are working on it, but then mark it "pending review" meaning it's ready to publish, but needs to be published by an editor. I've never run into a site where pending was used. I normally see draft and published.
For Gravity Forms, I think draft is probably what you want. Then you log into your wp-admin and you navigate to posts, click "Drafts" and you can see all the draft posts. There is also a link in the Gravity Forms entry. And there is usually a "Recent Drafts" widget on the default WordPress dashboard as well.
There are many ways of getting to the draft posts to approve them, most of which are just built-in WordPress functionality. You will find links to the draft posts all over. If you are looking at a single draft post, you can just click the "publish" button and make the post live.
