This SharePoint Online tutorial will demonstrate how to create a document approval workflow in SharePoint. Specifically, it will demonstrate how to create a document approval process in SharePoint and how to create a document approval workflow in SharePoint online. The SharePoint document approval workflow outlined in this video, allows users to create SharePoint document approval workflow multiple approvers, using out of the box functionality. Within a SharePoint Online document library, users can instantly send a file to multiple approvers for review and approval. This feature is facilitated through an embedded Microsoft Power Automate workflow that was added directly to the SharePoint online interface.

When this SharePoint document approval workflow power automate is executed for the first time, it will also add a status column to the document library to enable users to see the status of the approval request. Unfortunately, this SharePoint document approval power automate, does not display the workflow instance in the Microsoft Power Automate site meaning you cannot view executions in Power Automate directly. This SharePoint document approval flow is a great way to eliminate email approval requests and to allow any user to create centralized approval workflow in SharePoint Online. This tutorial will answer the following questions: How do I create a SharePoint document approval workflow?, Does SharePoint have approval workflow work?, How do I Create a SharePoint document approval flow?, How do you automate approvals in SharePoint? And Does SharePoint have an approval process?.

It's a pretty useful demo of the workflow feature in SharePoint, but I think it's a little more confusing than needed because he's also pitching the WalkMe Digital product at the same time...

Hi, if I download the file, how do I know if it is already approved? Can we put some signature or name/time stamp on the document? Thanks!

That was excellent, do you have any video on how you added the forms to sharepoint?

Hi Lui, how do you setup this workflow?

Thanks for the video. I have similar question. Just to clarify, It looks like what you showed is meant to be a one time approval process, is that correct? So if there were 100 documents that needed approval (using your technique), you would have to do this 100 times?
