hi, we have content approval workflow enabled on SharePoint online library settings. the issue is the workflow require every user even the admins who are approvers to approve themselves. Is there any way to bypass the workflow for specific users.  Or if there is a way to change the wordings when the page is under edit mode which says "Submit for approval". Can we change it on backend? 2024-02-26_09-19-58

Thanks

    Hi @Audi86,

    OOTBly, it is impossible in SharePoint Online. All uploaded files needs approve in a library which enables content approval.
