Announcing SharePoint page approvals
Hi all,
After announcing our rollout plans, I am happy to announce that the feature is now 100% rolled out to all tenants in Office 365.
We can't wait to hear more feedback! Keep us posted on what you think about the feature and any questions you might have!
Thanks,
Chaks
- Hi Chaks, is there a way to bypass the page approval process if you're a site owner? At the moment I'm having to submit and approve my owns posts which needlessly emails other site owners requesting approval. Is there a way around this? Thanks.
woolso Did you ever get a reply to this? I have the same issue. We are looking at having a process set up where people can create new posts and send them approval, but our editors (approvers) will need to modify them before they are approved for publishing. Right now, it seems that as an editor, I have to resubmit for approval so that I can approve or have one of the other approvers approve. If that can't happen, then wonderinf if the flow can be modified to make note that it is with an approver and not make them resubmit.
Hi,
This is a really great feature and it works perfectly in the browser, but... Is it true that it doesn't work when creating a "post" from the SharePoint app? I was setting this up for a customer, but the approval flow is not triggered when creating pages from the app.
Do you know of any workaround to make this work ?
- Yes, this does not work when creating a post from the SharePoint app. The recommended workaround is to switch to a desktop browser and continue submitting that page for approval.
Hi
I have set up page approval workflow but I am noticing Site visitors with 'Read' permissions are able to see changes on pages before approver approves it.
Visitors see status as ' waiting for approval' yet they also see the changed content.
