Within SharePoint Online it is possible to activate a page approval process. In this article I will show you how to use a security group for the approvers group and include change history in that Power Automate flow.

Page approval with changes is a process in which a content creator or editor reviews a page or post before it is published and makes changes to ensure it meets the standards of quality and accuracy. It is usually done by a content editor or manager to ensure the content is up-to-date, accurate, and meets the standards of the organization.

It is a critical step in the content creation process to ensure the content is ready for publication. The process may involve reviewing the content for accuracy, grammar, formatting, and other technical or style issues. The content editor or manager will then make changes as necessary to ensure the content meets the standards of the organization.

What does the template offer?

When a new page is submitted for approval everyone on the approvers list will receive an email. Any one on the approvers list can approve the page. When approved, the page will be published for all readers and the approval status of the page will be Approved.

When you follow the steps from that support article you will get a cloud flow based on a Microsoft template which will includes steps like:

– Setting the content approval status for the selected page

– Starting a first to respond type of approval task for the approvers

– Handling the outcome of the approval task and either approve or reject the changes for the page
