Fellow Youtubers, I've got a problem and I'm sure there's a way to solve it within the @youtube system... but I simply can't figure it out. How do I mass-approve community contributions for captions? I'll explain in few images.

In the new YouTube Creator Studio there's a section similar to the old system where you can see community contributions to Captions.pic.twitter.com/cXimHWXHW2

If you click on one of your videos... you can see everything that's "In Review". Those are community contributed captions. Someone spent 30 minutes of their life to create a subtitles file for that video so it could be shared in their own native language. (huge deal)pic.twitter.com/XKyNDh0bM8

This is the part that I MUST be doing wrong. If I'm doing this right, it takes me 6 clicks to approve a community caption? It takes about 5 seconds for each page to load, so It ends up being somewhere between 30 seconds to a minute to approve each one. Here are the first 4.pic.twitter.com/vwDT5hhHiv

Here are the 5th and 6th clicks. After that it brings you back to the captions page for that particular video and you restart the process for the next "In Review" caption.pic.twitter.com/CXiu57FS11

People that watch Smarter Every Day ARE SO INCREDIBLY AWESOME that I always have captions that must be approved. The problem is I also continuously feel guilty for not having approved them since the person was willing to volunteer so much of their precious time to make them.

SED currently has captions on 41 videos, with many many things to approve on each one. If you're someone who was awesome enough to create those captions/translations I apologize for not having it done yet.pic.twitter.com/5IiyMavNXA

I've heard rumors of YouTube setting up a feature that can be turned on somewhere.... community translations/captions of a certain quality will automatically be approved? If so, where do I find this button? (pics/screen capture please)

I've considered doing something like this via a volunteer content manager, but if I'm not mistaken content managers also have the ability to DELETE videos? I'm unwilling to give someone the ability to delete videos because it may happen on accident.

This is an issue I would love @TeamYouTube to address re: channel manager roles. Manager can do too much, communications manager too little. A *in-between* level that can design thumbnails, edit descriptions, and approve captions (but no uploading / deleting) would be so useful!
