Send a Page for Approval
Page Approvals are the core feature of Gears Approval for Confluence and a much-loved part of this powerful product. In this guide, we’ll explore how to set up page approvals and get your content to the review team for their seal of approval.
Note
Page approval is only available on the ‘Page’ content type
Note
Only users who have been granted permissions can request approval and modifications. Users can only conduct approval operations if they have been assigned approval premissions.
When you are ready to send your page for review and approval, click the “Add Approve” text that appears in the byline at the top of screen - see screenshot below.
Once you have clicked this, a byline window will open and you will need to click “Request approval”
The next screen will give you settings that allow you to configure the page approval people.
Approvers: Type the name of the desired reviewer’s name in the search field and their name will display. If you have set up an Approval Team, you can type the name of the team in this search field and choose to send the approval to this Approval Team.
Once you have chosen your Page Approval settings, click Confirm and your content will be sent to the chosen reviewers.
You can keep a track of how the page is progressing through the approval with the byline. As you can see in the screenshots below, the byline shows the status of the approval (Pending, Rejected, Approved) and the number of reviewers who have approved or rejected the content. If you click this status, a dialog box will display giving you more detail on the exact status of a page approval.
Additionally, you can add or delete the approvers by click the settings button.
