How to use this page

  1. 1 Open Pending Approvals from the sidebar.
  2. 2 Filter to actionable, stale, high-priority, active, locked, acted, returned, or rejected rows.
  3. 3 Open the request before approving so you can inspect the document and context.
  4. 4 Use Approve only when the document, budget, signatories, and supporting details are correct.
  5. 5 Use Return when the creator needs to revise, and write a note they can act on.

Good approval hygiene

  • Do not approve from a table row alone.
  • Check prior signatories and return history when a request looks unusual.
  • Return early if required documents, figures, or signatures are missing.
