Customize approval decision buttons

Overview

This example shows how to change the captions of the Approve and Reject buttons shown during a content review.

Default captions for approval action labels

When a content review is created using the approval macro, buttons labeled Approve and Reject are added to the workflow popup.

The approval buttons are only added if their target states are defined in the parent state macro via the approved and rejected parameters.

{workflow:name=Customise Approval Buttons}
   {state:Review|approved=Review|rejected=Review}
      {approval:Default Captions}
   {state}
{workflow}

These default button action labels can be edited in the workflow builder for each approval.
