If the Approval admin enables pre-approval, then approvers whose turn has not yet arrived in the processing order can approve, regardless of their turn.
Select a document whose status is To Be Approved to approve.

Defer Approval

If the Approval admin allows deferring approval, then ‘Defer’ is additionally displayed in the Approval button area. When deferring a document, the progress of the document will stop temporarily.

• When the document approval is deferred, the next approver can't approve the document. However, approvers on the same parallel approval (agreement) line can approve the document.
• If the company uses pre-approval, then other approvers can process the approval, regardless of whether the approval is deferred.
• You can enter a deferral comment when processing the document deferral, and you can check the deferral comment in the View Document page.

If you exercise your arbitrary decision permission, then you can close the document approval, regardless of the processing order on the approval line.
If you are granted the arbitrary decision permission, then tap ‘Approve’ in the Approval button area to display Arbitrary Decision. If you want arbitrary decision on the document, then tap ‘Arbitrary Decision’.

• For the approver who processed arbitrary decision, the processing status is displayed as ‘Arbitrary Decision’ and that of remaining approvers is displayed as ‘Consent to Arbitrary Decision’.
• The permission to make arbitrary decisions can be granted by form. For more information, see Manage Form > Set Approval Line.
• If the company is using pre-approval, then it will be processed as ‘Consent to Arbitrary Decision’ for employees located before the arbitrary decision maker in the processing order who have not yet approved.

Reject and Specify

Reject and specify involve specifying one of the approvers who have already approved so that the approved document can be reapproved by the specified approver and other following approvers.
If the Approval admin has enabled Reject and Send Back and a previous approver who approved the document exists, tap ‘Reject’ to display the Reject and Specify item.

• In case of Reject and Specify, the approval by the approvers following the designated approver is canceled and converted to the pending approval status.
• When approving a document with pre-approval, Reject and Specify is not displayed, and only general rejection is available.
• The button name of Reject and Specify may vary depending on the name setting by the admin (e.g., Specify and Decline, Specify and Oppose, Specify and Cancel).
• Once rejecting and specifying proceeds, the rejected approver and the current approver are added to a new position immediately following their original position in the approval line, with the unapproved status.
• Reject and Specify can only be performed once.

Cancel Approval

Employees who have approved a document may cancel the approval of the document approved by themselves.
For documents that you have approved, ‘Cancel Approval’ is displayed next to your name in the Approval Line area. To cancel the approval of the document, tap ‘Cancel Approval’.

• You can only cancel the approval before the next approver approves.
• Approvers who have set automatic consent can't cancel approval.
• You can't cancel the reject and specify.

• If you cancel the approval of a document, then the document is restored to the status before approval and converted to a status that can be approved again.

• The modification history can be viewed in the Change Information History on the View Document page, and items edited by the approver are displayed in blue.
