New Teams Version Approvals Not In Channels
In the latest version you can no longer request an approval in a channel. Instead you need to go to the Approvals section in the side bar, then you can make a general approval request. Is it going to be added back into discussion channels at some point?
The current button for Approvals in the channel + button just brings up a search bar that doesn't seem to work.

Agree with the above, it worked yesterday, but not today, it's cumbersome...
Hi everyone
I ran into the same issue with the Approvals feature in Teams — especially when trying to use the “+” button in a channel and only getting a broken search bar. Here's what worked for me:
- Go to Settings > Apps > Installed Apps on your computer.
- Find Microsoft Teams and click on it.
- Select Advanced Options.
- Scroll down and hit Reset.
This will clear the app cache and restore default settings without uninstalling it. After restarting Teams, the Approvals feature started working properly again for me.
Hope this helps!
This is a bit of a nightmare for my business functtion.
When trying to raise an approval in the required teams channel we just get a message "Quickly create approvals directly from a compose extension". We need this functionality back asap ! 😣
