Sharepoint - built in approval flow: where to find approver comments ?

Hi,

 

I am useing the built in approval flow for a sharepoint document library, by switching in on here:

 

 

When an approver is approving/rejecting an item in the library, she/he can give comments:

QUESTION: Where are the comments stored ??? I cannot find the comments anywhere. There is no associated column in the library. there is only a column for the approval status... I need to get the comments and send it on in a PowerAutomate notification flow...

thanks for your insights.

alex.

    Hi AlexFl4​ 

     

    it's true, this comment aren't stored in a SharePoint colument.

     

    User can see the comments in the Teams Approval App:

     

    To add the comments to a SharePoint column, you can modify the Flow to add the comments in a separate SharePoint column.

     

    Best, Dave
