New Feature: Bulk Approvals in SharePoint Online

MC184171, Stay Informed, Published On : July 2, 2019

Bulk Approvals in SPO is a new Office 365 feature. We'll begin rolling this feature out soon.

This enhancement is related to Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 52716.

How does this impact me?
Once available, users can select multiple items and approve or reject them at the same time.

We'll be gradually rolling this out to Targeted Release customers in early July and the roll out will be completed worldwide by the end of September.


To enable the Content Approval, go to Wheel icon >> Library Settings >> Versioning Settings >> Require content Approval for submitted items? YES

Go back to Document Library and you will see two new columns Approval Status and Approver Comments added to the default view. Select multiple documents and right click, go to Advanced >> Approve/Reject, click. 
A dialog box appears as below, select the option, add comments and click OK.

When item is uploaded to a Content Approval enabled Document Library, you will see a notification 'Notify your team'
Click on 'Notify your team', select the approver and click on Notify. Approve will be notified.
