# Approval workflow of a disclosure

If a narrative disclosure specifies a single approver or multiple approvers during its creation, it is mandatory for those designated approvers to grant approval before the disclosure can transition to the next state.

When creating a disclosure, you have the choice to specify one or multiple approvers. If multiple approvers are designated, all the approvers must give their approval for the disclosure to transition to the **Completed** state. In the event that any approver rejects the disclosure, it moves back to the **Work in Progress** state, requiring resubmission to the approvers for approval.
