## Overview

The workflow approval state dialog box lets you keep track of every stage of the workflow.

Open the approval state dialog box for a page with an applied approval workflow by choosing the approval status [content byline](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDALS/pages/650117237).

The contents of the approval state dialog box change to reflect the:

- Current state ([approval status](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDALS/pages/649920854)) of the workflow
- Available [transition](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDALS/pages/649823478) from the current state

The current [approval status](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDALS/pages/649920854) changes the contents of the dialog box based on the current approval status. The [draft states](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDALS/pages/649823570) both have a [content review](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDALS/pages/649888138) (approval).

In the **Review **state, the dialog box displays a user approval named **Review this page**

In the **Rejected **state the dialog box also displays an approval named **Review this page**

Content reviewed and approved is in the **Approved** state. In the **[Approved](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDALS/pages/649593185)**[ state](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDALS/pages/649593185) the approval state dialog box displays confirmation of the approval process

The **[Approved](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDALS/pages/649593185)**[ state](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDALS/pages/649593185) has no options to review or transition the page or blog post.

The workflow state in the **Approved** state changes to the **Review** state if the page or blog post is updated. This transition to the **Review** state also occurs if a set due date (expiry date) for a page in the **Approved** state is reached.

> ✅ The workflow events and actions for the page can be viewed using the Document Activity  menu option in the workflow approval state dialog box. The user must have permission to view the workflow content byline and open the approval state dialog box
