## Overview

Page Approval can be added on a space level to all the pages in the space.

> ℹ️ This automatically adds the Page Approval to any page in a given space without manually adding a Page Approval macro to each page.

When Page approval is enabled in the space settings

- Page Approval automatically appears on newly created pages
- Existing pages need to be edited and saved for the Page Approval content to appear

> 📝 Existing pages with a manually added Page Approval are not overridden when enabling Page Approval at space level.

## Adding the space Page Approval

To set up the space level of Page Approval, in the space where you want Page Approval active:

- go to **Space Tools > Page Approval**

When enabled, **Page Approval** is added by default to all the pages in the space.

The space administrator can also configure the settings for Page Approval on all pages in the space

You can configure settings options such as **Appearance**:

- Are there any pages to ignore when adding Page Approval?
- Do you want to display the Page Approval approver role or comment field on the page?

You can also set the users and groups of users who are approvers for all your approvals, an order for these approvers, and a requirement for a quorum of approvers.

**Acknowledgements** can be enabled, and you can set a list of users or user groups who must acknowledge.

**Expiry settings** for the approval can be set, with options to set a fixed expiry period or a recurring expiry.

> ✅ If you only want to add a Page Approval on a page-by-page basis in a space, you can use the **Appearance** > **Ignore Pages** option to [manage the space-wide settings for these manually added Page Approval macros](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PAFS/pages/2214854958).
