The approving user must have reading privileges for the document to be approved; otherwise, this user may not access the document for approval.

It is important to note that document security does not require approval: if the document under approval permission is withdrawn, this rule applies immediately, blocking access to the document submitted for approval.

This tab is displayed when the user in question is one of the approvers and has already approved the document, which is now pending approval from the remaining approvers.

In any step of the document approval process, the person who posted/edited the document can go to the My Documents tab, in the Task Center, and edit properties or cancel the document.

If the document is not approved, the publisher user must go to the Task Center, click the Properties option and make the necessary changes, so that the document can be resubmitted for approval.

If the publisher user has submitted the document for approval by mistake or at some point canceled the approval, this can be reversed by following the instructions from the My documents item.
