Review and approve submitted documents

Set up document approval so submitted files are reviewed before entering the Resource Library — including how to configure approvers, review documents, and approve or reject submissions.

For: Admins and Managers

Document approval lets you review files submitted through tasks before they are accepted into your Resource Library. When enabled, designated approvers are notified whenever a file is uploaded and can approve or reject it before it is saved.


Set up document approval

  1. Log in to the Admin Console

  2. Go to My Business in the left-hand navigation

  3. Click the Settings tab

  4. Scroll down to Document approval settings

  5. Click Select users who approve documents and choose one or more existing users to act as approvers

  6. Set the Minimum number of approvals needed — this determines how many approvers must sign off before a document is accepted into the Resource Library

  7. Click Save

For example: If you have two approvers and set the minimum approvals to 1, only one of them needs to approve a document for it to be accepted.


Reviewing submitted documents

When a team member submits files through a task, all designated approvers receive a notification. To review a document:

  1. Log in to the Admin Console

  2. Click Resources in the left-hand navigation

  3. Click the Resource Approval tab

  4. Click on the document to open it

  5. Review the file. From this view you can also edit the resource details, including the name, location, ID number, issue date, expiry date, assignment, and whether to recommend it for offline download

  6. Click Approve to accept the document, or Reject to decline it

If you reject a document, a prompt will appear asking you to explain why. This message (up to 200 characters) is sent back to the team member so they know what to fix and can resubmit.

Once approved, the document moves out of the approval queue and into the Resource Library.

Other actions in the approval queue

Click the three dots next to any document to access the following options:

  • Review resource — opens the document for review

  • Remove — permanently deletes the document from the system
