Modifying approval steps for business processes

Modify approval steps in a business process when you want to make changes to how information in the form is approved or rejected. You can make changes to the details, associations, follow-ups, attachments, and view security settings of approval steps.

Info

You can only modify approval steps for a business process and you cannot add or remove them.

You can modify a business process only before it is submitted. Submitted business processes cannot be modified because they provide an audit trail and a historical record of updates to your contact, company, opportunity, and service request records.

Navigate to the Opportunities workspace to modify approval steps in a business process for an opportunity. Navigate to the Service Requests workspace to modify approval steps in a business process for a service request.
