Appears on pages and blog posts:

- Only when the approval is added to an individual page and [space approval](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDALS/pages/649757021) is inactive
- Only for users who can **edit** or **administer** the content

## Approval history

Before removing the Approval, you are given the option to choose to remove all the approval history for the page or blog post or retain this history for future reference:

Once you choose** OK**, the approval workflow is removed from the page or blog post.

:info: If <span style="color: #7a869a">**Remove Approval activity history**</span> is checked, it also removes workflow content properties and metadata from the document and all workflow history from the [approval report](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDALS/pages/649724259).

The option to **Remove Approval** is only available when there is no [space approval](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDALS/pages/649757021) inactive.
