III. Use approval rules

Use approval rules to specify approvers and approval conditions.

IV. Create multiple approval workflows

You can create multiple approval workflows. Only one of them will be the set as the “active” (default) workflow.

During approval, the approver can switch to another workflow, for example, for the purpose to determine the next approver.
