Responding to an approval request

During the review and approval process, the project manager creates an approval or approval flow to collect responses from team members. Reviewers receive an approval request notification or approval alert with a link to the approval.

1. Open the approval request notice and click the link to go to the version. You can also access the version from the My Approval Responses section on your dashboard or from the My Approvals page.
2. Review the version.
3. If the version is not locked, you can start the Markup tool to add your comments.
   Note: If the version is locked in the approval, you cannot use the Markup tool to make comments. If your administrator enabled the "Approved with changes" response option, you can enter your comments there.
4. In the Respond to Approval window, select the appropriate option from the Response drop-down list and click Respond.

   Option	Description
   Approved	Approve the version as is. You can enter comments if the comments field is available, as configured by your system administrator.
   Not approved	Do not approve the version as is. You can enter comments if the comments field is available, as configured by your system administrator.
