When there are more than 6 reviewers assigned to an approval a read-only workflow dialog box is available to display the full list of reviewers.

The approver dialog box is read-only but the columns can be sorted and the report can be filtered.

The approval reviewers list is available from

  • the workflow popup on the page by choosing the +n icon

  • from the Document Report by choosing a reviewer avatar

Bug fix release that fixes some problems when showing pre-assigned reviewers (reviewers assigned by using the Builder as shown below) on the Workflow Report:

              

December 16th 2020

We are introducing some security improvements onto the current approvals configuration different setting options.

  1. Anyone can approve (no restrictions)

From now on, approvals with the configuration Anyone can approve (no restrictions) won't be assignable anymore.

The workflow state dialog will NOT ALLOW reviewers assignation

 

  1. Users can be assigned through the (workflow popup) UI

This option allows manual assignation of reviewers by using the workflow state dialog. This will remain working same as now. → So It will still be possible to leave the approval with no assignees or assign specific reviewers:

Workflow state dialog will ALLOW the assignment of reviewers, but you can add users in the approval editor to allow PRE_ASSIGNMENT of reviewers.

  • a user with VIEW & EDIT permissions over the content will view enabled approve/reject buttons

  •  if a user has been assigned but the current logged-in user is NOT ASSIGNED to the approval the approve/reject buttons are disabled

 

  1. Set all reviewers that have to approve

From now on, approvals with this configuration won't be assignable anymore. It'll still be mandatory to pre-assign the set of reviewers to the approval:

Workflow state dialog will NOT ALLOW the assignment of reviewers. A user accessing the content who is not assigned as a reviewer will see the approve/reject buttons disabled (greyed out).
