SharePoint is a versatile platform that can be used for various business needs, including document management and collaboration. It is also a popular choice for developing custom business applications.

One of the most popular uses for SharePoint is creating an approval system. SharePoint-based approval systems can streamline the process of document review and approval, making it faster and easier to move important documents along the chain of command, hence getting these documents approved, revised, or rejected.

How does a SharePoint-based approval system work?

When a document is ready for review, the author uploads it to a SharePoint list or library. The document is then routed to the appropriate reviewers. The reviewers can add their comments and feedback directly to the document or leave comments on the SharePoint site. Once the review process is complete, the document is either approved or rejected.

The benefits of using a SharePoint-based approval system

SharePoint is a powerful tool that can help organizations keep track of documents and approvals. A SharePoint-based approval system can streamline the process of document approvals, saving time and energy. SharePoint approvals can be routed automatically to the appropriate individuals, and the system can keep track of who has approved what. In addition, SharePoint offers a degree of flexibility that is not always possible with paper-based systems. For example, SharePoint approvals can be assigned to groups rather than individuals, making it easier to ensure that all relevant stakeholders have a chance to weigh in. As a result, a SharePoint-based approval system can be a valuable asset for any organization.
