Forcing a Document from Review to Approval
When necessary, as a document owner or document control administrator you can move a document currently in the review status to the approval status, skipping any reviewers who have not yet completed their review tasks.
Important: If you are not a document control administrator, you cannot force a document from review to approval if the document's template contains required reviewers.
- Find and open the document currently in review that you need to move on to approval (see Finding a Document in a Specific Status).
- Click Options, and then click Submit for Approval.
- You will see a message like the one below listing the reviewers that will be skipped if you continue. Click OK.
- (Optional) The comments provided when the document was submitted for review are displayed. Replace or edit those comments.
- Click Submit, and then click OK. Skipped reviewers are notified that they no longer need to complete their review tasks for this document, and assigned approvers receive new tasks.
