In the Approval process, all approvers must approve a document for it to reach the Approved for Use state. If any approver rejects the document, it returns to the Revise and Resubmit state.

Best Practice Using the Approved verdict ensures that the verdict is stamped on the exact same version of the document that enters Approved for Use. If enabled, the Approved with Changes verdict should only be used for minor modifications. Additionally, if you plan to select Approved with Changes or Not Approved, ensure you’ve created an annotation to note where any changes are required.
