About Parallel Approvals
Updated
Parallel approval is a unique way of approval in which brands can avoid the latency of post-approval due to sequential approval. Every individual approver can approve the post without dependency on another approver. The post will be published only after all the approvers approve the post.
Note: To enable this feature in your environment, please reach out to your success manager or raise a support ticket. |
