## Editing approval reviewers

In workflow builder, you can use the approval editor to manage the assignment of reviewers for an approval.

In the **Reviewers** options, you can allow anyone to approve or reject an approval by choosing **Anyone can approve (no restrictions)**.

A reviewer must have at least **view** and **edit** permission for the document. A single reviewer’s approval or rejection decision transitions the workflow unless a value greater than 1 is added to the **Minimum approvals** box.

> ℹ️ When adding a new approval, this is the default setting for the **Reviewers**.

## Anyone can approve

![Approvals editor - Reviewers - Anyone can approve option radio button selected](media://e48c01b4-e8f9-46b4-a937-e024c27576f8)

This lets any user with **view** and **edit** permission for the content to make the approval decision using the workflow state dialog box. 

In the workflow dialog box on the page, there is **no option** **for manual assignment** of a reviewer.

One user decision using the workflow state dialog box **Approve** or **Reject** button will cause the workflow to transition to the destination state (if the **approved**/**rejected** transition is configured for the state).

## Minimum approvals

**Anyone can approve** can be configured to require more than one reviewer’s decision before a transition can take place by setting the number of reviewer decisions in the workflow builder by adding a value for **Minimum approvals**.

![Approvals editor - Minimum approvals box](media://69bc3c36-f26c-4f6c-ad58-c734ce7701f5)

This requires the set number of reviewers to **undertake the approval AND agree** for the approval transition to occur.

This adds empty reviewer avatars to the workflow state dialog box on transition into the state for the set number of required reviewers.

![Workflow state dialog box - Approval with Minimum approvals set - Three empty avatars ](media://9c7b65ca-dbca-4ee6-8c6e-f3b522d41ca6)

Each user avatar and their review decision is added to the workflow state dialog box until the minimum number of reviews have been made, and the transition occurs.

> 📝 A reviewer who has already made an approval decision can change their decision if the transition has not yet occurred.

In the workflow builder, only the approval name is displayed.
