Approvals

You may create an approval request for updating a flag and request approval from a team member before applying the changes. You may to select up to ten reviewers to be notified via email, however, anyone with the sufficient permissions can review a pending approval request. At least one approval is needed to allow the changes to be applied.

Change instructions that are in a conflict state will fail if approved and applied, and the flag will not be updated.
