## Creating a Workflow

2. Click **Create Workflow**
3. Configure:

| Setting                | Description                                         |

| **Name**               | Descriptive name (e.g., "PRD Publish Approval")     |
| **Trigger**            | Which action requires approval                      |
| **Required approvals** | How many approvers must sign off (1–10)             |
| **Self-approval**      | Whether the requester can approve their own request |
| **Approvers**          | Select team members who can approve                 |

## Trigger Types

| Trigger              | When It Fires                                                 |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **PRD Publish**      | When a team member attempts to publish/finalize a PRD         |
| **PRD Export**       | When exporting to external formats (PDF, DOCX, Notion, etc.)  |

## Approval Flow

<Steps>
  <Step title="Action Triggered">
    A team member triggers an action that has an approval workflow configured.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Request Created">
    An approval request is created and designated approvers are notified.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approvers Review">
    Approvers review the request and approve or reject it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Threshold Met">
    Once the required number of approvals is reached, the action proceeds automatically.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Managing Workflows

From the approval workflows settings page:

* View all active workflows with their trigger types and approver counts
* Edit workflow settings (name, approvers, required count)
* Delete workflows that are no longer needed

<Note>
  Approval workflows are available on Enterprise plans. When no workflow is configured for an action, it proceeds immediately without approval.
