If you are satisfied that a page is ready for creation of a hard-copy proof or for final printing, set the page's approval status to Approved.

Requirements:

• Make sure that approval workflow settings enable you to approve the page (For example, in the Customer Administration page, the selected options are Always allow or Allow with warning. If the selected option is Only on request, make sure that you were requested to approve the specific page.)
• You must have a job role that includes the Give Final Approval user right. (If you do not have the Give Final Approval user right, you can still set the review status of the page.)

1. With the page open in Smart Review, click Approve .
   The button is available only if the page status is Approval Requested.
2. In the comments box, type a comment if desired. The comment will appear in the e-mail notification for your page review.
3. If the page is color-managed and you have been asked to review the page for color accuracy, click Approve . If you are satisfied with the page's color, select Approve and in the box that appears, , select Approve Color.
4. Click Apply.

The page's approval status changes to Approved and the server sends a CSR e-mail notification.
After you approve a page, neither you nor another user can change its status or add annotations.
