SinhaKislay this is not part of a workflow - I am simply approving the document by navigating to approve/reject.  I don't see any tasks (but I am not expecting to as I have not triggered a workflow)

ValSwift Have you found a solution for this? I would also like to see who approved in SharePoint. It is visible in Teams though.

Thank you

      Hi eguven 
      No, unfortunately, I haven't found a solution in SP - I reference emails and Approvals in Teams.
      Regards

        Emfree When I need to multiple approvals I do it via a flow in Power Automate with a parallel branch for each approver. The SharePoint list/library has columns for each approver name, date and comments. Inside each branch is the start and wait for an approval action and the update item action which updates appropriate columns in the list/library when theoutcome is known. So who has approved or rejected gets saved with the comments from each one.
