Viewing the Status of a Submission You Submitted for Approval

1. What Happens After You Submit

If the template you completed has an approval workflow configured, your submission doesn't just record as "Completed" — it enters an approval process. The status changes to Pending Approval and an approver is notified to review it.

You don't need to do anything while it's pending. But you can track where it is.

2. Where to See Your Approval Status

Approvals tab on your home screen: The Approvals tab shows all submissions you've made that are in an approval workflow — pending, approved, rejected, or changes requested. The status is visible on each item.

From the submission itself: Go to Templates → All Submissions → find your submission → tap to open. The approval status is shown at the top: Pending Approval, Approved, Rejected, or Changes Requested.

From a task: If the submission was tied to a task, open the task → tap the Template Attached tab → Review Submission button. The approval status is visible there.

3. The Four Statuses

Pending Approval: Your submission is waiting for the approver to review it. No action needed from you yet.

Approved: The approver accepted your submission. You receive a push notification and email. The submission is complete.

Changes Requested: The approver found issues and wants you to address them. You receive a notification with their message and step-level comments. Go to the submission, read the feedback, make the corrections, and resubmit.

Rejected: The approver rejected the submission. You receive a notification with their reason. Contact your manager to understand next steps.

4. Responding to Changes Requested

When you receive a Changes Requested notification:

1. Tap the notification — it takes you directly to the submission
2. Read the overall message from the approver
3. Scroll through the submission — steps with feedback have comment indicators
4. Tap each flagged step to read the specific comment
5. Respond to the feedback in the same comment field — type your clarification or corrective action
6. Resubmit the form

Your response goes back to the approver. They're notified that feedback has been provided and can now review and approve.
