Overview
This article walks you through the Multi-Step Approvals process within a live Review cycle, highlighting each stage from submission to final sign-off. You’ll see how Reviews move between Approvers and what the process looks like from the employee’s perspective.
Whether you're a Facilitator, Admin, or Approver, this guide helps you understand how Multi-Step Approvals function in practice.
Reviewers can also track where a Review is in the approval process at any time from the All Reviews page, as shown below. Hover over the “Pending” facilitator text to view a tooltip showing the Review’s current stage in the multi-step approvals process.
Important: In the event that a facilitator changes mid-cycle, the approval chain will rebuild automatically. Removed approvers will automatically lose access, and all previous approvals will be reset. To preserve approvals, avoid changing the facilitator when possible.
