This update is not just about approving documents; it’s about transforming your workflows to be more adaptive and inclusive.
Key aspects of the Approvals feature include the ability to move a workflow to a future or previous step based on the approval status and the introduction of group approvals. These features are designed to give teams greater flexibility in how decisions are made and ensure that workflows can adjust in real-time to the outcomes of those decisions.
