In SharePoint Online document library we have a Flow button and from it you can configure flow options. On choosing Request Sign off a pre-configured flow is available from that button when an individual document is selected. When Content Approval is chosen, no pre-configured flow is shown and a flow needs to be created either from a template of from scratch. Is this anticipated behaviour or am I missing something? (screen shots below show the button and configure options)
After searching for a while I cant find the answer though I'm sure I've seen it somewhere before, so hoping someone can confirm the correct my understanding.

Thanks - at least I'm not the only one. I thought both were supposed to give pre-configured flows.

Hi @Sara Fennah
In case it helps, Laura Rogers had a segment on this topic during the Online Flow Conference in December. See beginning at 1:05 in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ac6P4S6bamk
She included a little chart of which options are available in which approval mode, which I thought was helpful.

I am seeing the same issue. While the video did explain some of the options I am sort of still expecting a default flow to appear, or at least some explanation of what to do. Right now the "Content Approval" option is totally useless to me.

@Craig Blake Did the Content Approval issue ever get cleared up? I am still seeing the behavior discussed in this thread.

@annetoal There is no default content approval flow. You have to build a custom flow. The best place to start is https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/modern-approvals.
