# Company Approval Workflows
## Company approvals can standardize your approval process by allowing you to predefine necessary workflows available for all contracts to utilize.
### Create a Company Approval
- Company Approval Workflows are created, stored, and edited from the left-hand navigation panel.
- Click the **lightening bolt icon(Automations)\>Approvals.**
1. Click **+ Add new approval**
2. Add a **Name**
3. Add a **Description**
4. Click the **Assigned to** icon
5. Select desired approvers (users or [teams](https://support.concordnow.com/hc/en-us/articles/205943975-Setting-up-teams?hsLang=en))
6. Click **Add approval step** if you would like to add additional users for a sequential approval process.
7. Repeat steps 5-7 until you have achieved the desired workflow.
1. To delete a Step, click Delete. Steps cannot be re-ordered. Instead, delete the steps and re-create the workflow.
8. Click **Save**
Approval Required
- **From Anyone:** Any of the specified approvers can be responsible for approval
- **From Everyone**: All specified approvers must approve
### Add a Company Approval Workflow to your Contract
- You can add your Company Approval Workflow to your Templates and documents within the Approvals tab.
1. Open the document
2. Click **Approvals** from the right-hand panel
3. Click **Set approval workflow**
4. Choose a **Company approval** from the list
5. Click **Save**
- Requesting approval will also automatically share the designated approver to the document as an **Editor**. Their assigned permissions will not be adjusted if the designated approver is shared with a document before requesting approval.
- This can only be performed by users who have the 'permission to set workflows' activated in their [roles](https://support.concordnow.com/hc/en-us/articles/205605529-Managing-roles?hsLang=en).
