MicrosoftIntroducing "Request sign-off" - an approval flow that requires no set up
Hi there! We haven't seen this feature come up yet on our site. Is there a way to update or get it sooner?
MicrosoftHi Hillary Barter, and everyone who is following this feature.
This is now available for half of all tenants that can see the Flow button! Our goal is to make it available for everyone that can see the Flow button by next week.
We are working on the following features in the meanwhile that are related:
- Enabling this to work for guest users. Expected by end of the summer.
- Making sure Request sign-off works well for libraries that require check out. At the moment please make sure the file is checked out to the user that is requesting the sign-off.
- Managing flows associated with a library easily. Expected by the end of the summer.

All of our users who can see the Flow button should now have this feature!
Hi Kerem, Thanks fo those updates, so far I can see the Request Sign-off on my Document libraries that do not have the Content Approval activated. Is this a normal behavior ?- Kerem Yuceturk
Hi Deleted. If the feature does not show up for you in the next hour or so, please send me the details of your tenant and user information in a private message and I can take a deeper look into the logs with our engineers. It should be visible from what I can see in your screenshot.
Can you point me to what the "Managing flows associated with a library easily" feature includes? Sounds interesting.

Hi Justin Miller, you may have seen Flow team's announcement on how flows can now be "owned" by a SharePoint list or library.
We are going to be building on that to show a list of flows that are associated with the current list or library within SharePoint itself, so you can easily switch any of your existing flows to make them available for the rest of the users of that particular list/library, and do things like turning them on or off. We haven't quite finalized the design yet, but that's the direction we are heading in.
Thanks Kerem, that will be helpful. with all the ways to customize stuff, it gets hard afterwards to figure out what changes were made to a site/list when it comes time to modify or fix something.
Visiting flow.microsoft.com doesn't help because there the list of flows is completely out of context. It's hard to figure out where the flows are actually deployed so my naming has to be very descriptive.
