  Key Concepts: 
  Approval workflow is a feature of SAP's Enterprise Portal Knowledge Management Content Management (EP-KM-CM) component. It allows users to create and manage approval processes for content stored in the portal. This includes documents, images, videos, and other digital assets. The approval workflow ensures that all content is reviewed and approved by the appropriate stakeholders before it is published. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the approval workflow feature, users must first create an approval process. This includes defining the roles of each stakeholder involved in the process, as well as setting up the necessary steps for each stage of the process. Once the process is set up, users can then assign content to be reviewed and approved by the appropriate stakeholders. The approval workflow will then guide users through each step of the process until the content is approved and published. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting up an approval workflow, it is important to ensure that all stakeholders are aware of their roles and responsibilities. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all stakeholders have access to the necessary tools and resources needed to complete their tasks. Finally, it is important to regularly review and update the approval process as needed to ensure that it remains effective and efficient.
