Approval Stages are stages that lie between the Production and Finished Stages in a workflow.

Approval Stages in a sample workflow

Each approval process needs at least one Approval Stage, but can have over fifty (if required). Approval Stages are assigned names, users, and optional due dates by the approval process Manager. Users assigned to Approval Stages are responsible for reviewing the file and assigning an approval status to it. When all Reviewers have assigned a status, the Manager can complete the stage and move the project to the next stage, or send it back to Production if a Reviewer rejects the proof and additional work is required.
