If the approval is added to the state but the Approved and Rejected transitions are not added
the workflow popup will still display the Approve and Reject buttons
if a user rejects or approves the content the workflow will simply remain in the current state
no transition will occur
any approval decision will still be recorded in the page activity report
You do not need to add both the Approved and the Rejected transition.
