Approving draft schema elements in the Schema database
When you use the IBM® Lotus® Domino® LDAP Schema database (SCHEMA.NSF) to add a schema element, the Draft Documents and All Schema Documents views display a draft document for the element. Follow these steps to approve draft schema elements to move them to the Pending Documents view, so the schema daemon on the administration server for the Domino Directory can incorporate them into the schema:

1. Make sure you have Manager access to the Schema database.

2. Open the Schema database on any server in the domain that runs the LDAP service.

3. Look at the Draft Documents views to see a draft document for each schema element added but not yet approved.

4. Review the draft documents, and make any final changes.

5. When you are ready to approve the changes, do one of the following:

The documents you approve move to the Pending Documents views. If you used a replica of the Schema database on a subordinate server to approve the schema documents, the documents in the Pending Documents views must replicate to the administration server for the Domino Directory. When the schema daemon next runs on the administration server it verifies the elements in the Pending Documents views and then publishes them in the Schema database. The updated Schema database then replicates to subordinate servers in the domain that run the LDAP service.
