Adding Approvals to a page or blog post allows you to ensure that content is reviewed and signed off.

Adding and applying **Comala Document Approval** creates a distinction between [draft and published](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDALS/pages/649823570) content.

By default, everyone (*the users with ****view**** access*) can see the published version, but only authors and reviewers (users with **edit** and **view** permission) can see the draft versions.

At the space level, the Comala Document Approval app can be 

- [applied to individual pages one at a time](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDALS/pages/649625966)
- [applied across a space](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDALS/pages/649757021), where the approval app workflow is automatically applied to all content in a space

If the approval is applied across a space (space mode), the space approval will take priority over approvals added to an individual page. Users will be unable to add or remove approvals individually added to a page whilst the space approval is enabled.

> ℹ️ To [apply the app across a space](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDALS/pages/649757021) you need space admin privileges.
