The Approve action enables users to approve business activities in the current workflow status. This helps ensure you obtain requisite reviews and approvals of specific activities by managers or other responsible users. When configured as a transitional action, the case will move to a new status to indicate the case is approved.
When a user performs the Approve action, Workflow records a history of the activity, helping to ensure quality control and accountability for your business processes.
