Don’t have access to computer right now but I don’t think approvals are in modern UI yet. You can make use of flow to handle approvals or you will need to take that library back to classic to use or just use the publish which is essentially the same but it only works for site pages libraries.
I was alerted to this this morning as I'm using a Flow with the new Approvals Action - but it no longer sets the Approval Status column. Then I noticed that the old, default behaviour no longer sets the column either - ie create or move/copy a doc into the library where Approvals have been enabled.
- Odd. Targeted release?
It is indeed
- But do you mean Approval for a regular document library or for the site pages doc. library? I think the Approve/Reject/Publish options are only avaiable in the Item menu, but not in the doc. library actions bar
