Forcing a Document or Assessment from Review to Approval

When necessary, as a document owner, assessment owner, or administrator you can move a document or assessment currently in the Review status on to the Approval status, skipping any reviewers who have not yet completed their review tasks.

Important: If you are not an administrator, you cannot force a document/assessment from Review to Approval if the assigned template contains required reviewers.
