Requires approval tags

I made tag that "Requires approval".
The first question is: how can I approve posts with this tag?

But there's another problem: I added this tag to the "Sidebar tags" field. And all posts with this tag are displayed in the sidebar, even those that are not approved (I created a new profile, added a post from it, and it immediately appeared under this tag in the sidebar, I didn't approve anything).

It seems to me that this is not how it should work.

Which tag is it?

My understanding is that any tag is functional - it just doesn't appear in the list of tags for users unless it's an approved tag from the admins.

I mean something else. There is a checkbox in the settings of a particular tag. What does it do?

I assumed that it requires a moderator to approve every post under this tag. The way it works for me is that any posts that are created after clicking this checkbox do not appear on the tag page. So they really need to be approved somehow, but how?
But in the sidebar, the block with this tag shows all posts, even those that are not approved (i.e., those that are not even on the tag page)

🤦🏻‍♂️ My bad - I thought I was responding to a post in the CodeNewbies Forem and not the Forem Forem 😅
