How to create document approval stages

Approval workflows

Concepts

  • Stage — a step (e.g., "Legal review")
  • Approver — designated person
  • Request — automatically generated

Creating a workflow

  1. Administration → Document Types
  2. Select type → Approval Stages section
  3. Add stages with name, order and approver

How it works

  1. Upload document with workflow → starts in Draft
  2. Request to first approver (with notification)
  3. ✅ Approve → next stage or Final
  4. ❌ Reject → back to Draft with reason

📧 Every action generates email and in-app notification.

Types without stages can be uploaded directly in Final status.
