Hi all,

Can anyone tell me how to add a 2nd approval step to a workflow?  We want to use User Groups instead of a hierarchy, as they are easier to maintain.

    Hi Skadi

    It seems you just need additional approval in same process, Please go to approval element and add additional step for second approval.

    Please check below document for reference : learn.microsoft.com/.../configure-approval-step-workflow

    Please let us know if this helps.

    Thanks,

    Hi Skadi,

    You can achieve this requirement with one approval element. If you double click the approval element, you will be able to setup multiple steps for the same element.
