Does Microsoft teams approval function allow for sequential approvers?

Question

I seem to recall reading somewhere that Microsoft had planned to release an update to the Teams Approval workflow that would allow to identify a sequential approval list. I thought that it was planned for May 2023. Currently you can only do all approval but does not follow a sequential process.

Hi @Jeff Wamboldt

Can it be used by other users in your organization?

Try logging into the Teams web client with a browser to check if sequential approvals are available.

I thought that it was planned for May 2023.

Yes, the sequential approval process was introduced in May. However, the client availability time for this feature is not uniform, and you may have to wait for a while.

Here's a roadmap for Teams sequential approval updates:  Microsoft 365 Roadmap | Microsoft 365.
