Edit an approval in a state

Overview

An existing approval (content review) can be edited for a state in a custom workflow.

The approval in a workflow state is edited in the approval editor in the workflow builder visual editor.

The approval can be edited to change the approval reviewers:

Anyone can approve (no restrictions) - any user (with edit permission for the page) can undertake the review
Users can be assigned through the UI - manual assignment using the workflow popup on the page
Set all reviewers that have to approve - set reviewers are assigned as reviewers

For each of the above reviewer settings, the approval can also be edited to add or amend the

number of Minimum approvals to be undertaken by reviewers to complete the approval
requirement for reviewer Credentials to authenticate a user using an e-signature

Approvals can only be edited for a custom workflow. Approvals in a bundled workflow cannot be edited.

Existing approvals in a workflow state are edited in the approval editor in the workflow builder visual editor.
