Chapter 2: Approvals

If you've ever had to get individuals or teams to sign off various stages of a project, expense, or document revision, you've likely worked with approvals in some fashion. Approvals, from a Microsoft Teams perspective, is an integrated application that can be used to get those signoffs through Microsoft Teams instead of walking a document through the office.

Approvals are just what they sound like – proof that someone has agreed to a certain requirement or condition as part of a project or process.

In this chapter, we're going to look at working with approvals in Microsoft Teams. We will cover the following topics:

  • Creating approvals
  • Responding to approvals
  • Approval templates
  • Administration of the Approvals app

By the end of this chapter, you'll be able to explain the requirements of the Approvals app, create and respond to approvals, and enable or disable the Approvals app for your users.
