The default value for the **Rule order** field in a chain is now 10. If you have rule orders in chains configured with different order values, review and update them as needed to align with the new default.

Assign the approval\_request\_submitter role to requesters who submit approval requests only and don't have access to the full advanced approval workflow functionality and interface. Users with this role can't recall recall or update approval requests.
