Using an Approval Signing Token to activate a review

Using an approval signing token to activate a review
You must have previously:
enabled e-signature for one or more approvals in the workflow
successfully initialized the signing token for the current Confluence instance using an authenticator app
In a state with a content review, open the workflow popup and add your email address and the authenticator app time-based signing token displayed on your smart device.
If the signing token and email are accepted, the popup content review buttons become active for that user.
If there is a second content review in the workflow that has e-signature enabled then this also requires entry of your username and a time-based token.
A different approval signing token generated by the authenticator may be required for this content review if more than one minute of time has elapsed since the last use of the token.
When a valid signing token and email address are added, the review buttons are activated.
Where there are multiple reviewers, a separate approval signing token is required by each reviewer.
for usability, user validation is provided against previous, current, and next calculated signing tokens generated by the authenticator app
the e-signature process submits the user email address and approval signing token through the Comala secure server without storing these details
E-signature does not work if your site is configured to use a single sign-on (SSO) through Atlassian Access
