    I need to build a site where users can upload an image and text as a post front he front end which will be moderated before publishing.

    But will the users be able to preview what they have uploaded?

  2. The reviewing before submitting is not a function that is built to work out of the box. Users have done workarounds where they take data from one form and dynamically submit it to another form for review before submitting the second form.

    This would involve a customization and there is an extensive thread here if you decide to take the plunge:

    I appreciate you sending me the link but I'm unable to view that as I haven't made a purchase.

    So its a bit difficult to see if its within my capabilities.

  4. As Rob mentioned above, Gravity Forms does not currently have built in functionality to allow the user to preview what they have submitted.

    If you are using Gravity Forms to create a WordPress Post and the Post is being created as a Draft that will be reviewed by an admin before being published, this is more of a WordPress feature than a Gravity Forms feature. Only the admin is going to be able to preview the post because of it's Draft status. The user isn't going to be able to see or preview the draft post.

    Implementing custom preview functionality is possible, but it isn't a simple customization. It is a more advanced customization and it would require Gravity Forms customization experience in order to implement.
