After removal of a page wapproval, if a new page workflow is added when Document Activity was retained:

the last approval state in the document activity will be applied - not the initial Review state of the new page workflow
if the current state is one of the draft states, Review or Rejected and the content had previously been in the Approved state then the page sub-title will include a breadcrumb link to the approved content
any previous document activity is available in the document activity report

The Remove Page Approval option appears on pages and blog posts only when a Page Approval has been added to the individual page - and the space approval is not enabled.

If the user does not have space admin permission the popup will not display the option to delete document activity. The document activity is retained by default.

A space approval on a page can only be removed by disabling the approval in space settings. You can also clear the document activity for all the content in the space in the space settings Document Approval dashboard
