--- title: Glossary Approval Workflow slug: /how-to-guides/data-governance/glossary/approval --- # Glossary Approval Workflow The business glossary plays a vital role in standardizing terminology in an organization. The Glossary Approval Workflow provides control where every term added to a business glossary has been reviewed and approved by the reviewers of the glossary. This helps avoid duplicate terms, incomplete definitions, and obsolete terminologies. Watch the video to learn more about **[Glossary Approval Workflow](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgTcKQtpAks&t=4s)** {% youtube videoId="PgTcKQtpAks" start="0:00" end="2:51" width="800px" height="450px" /%} To automate the approval workflow, ensure that your Glossary has **Reviewers** assigned. If you glossary has reviewers assigned, the glossary approval workflow gets triggered when a **New Term** is added. - The new term will show up in the Glossary, but will be marked as **Draft**. - Only the assigned **Reviewers** can Approve or Reject the term. - A **Task** is assigned for the Reviewers. - The details of the glossary term can be viewed in the **Overview Tab**. - Users can discuss further about the term by **replying** on the task. - Other users can be pulled into the conversation using **@mentions**. - The approved terms will have the **Approved** label next to them. - Similarly, the rejected terms will be marked as **Rejected**. {% note noteType="Warning" %} In case, the glossary **does not have any Reviewers** assigned, then the glossary terms will be **Approved** by default. {% /note noteType="Warning" %} {% /note %} {%inlineCallout color="violet-70" bold="Glossary Styling" icon="MdArrowForward" href="/how-to-guides/data-governance/glossary/styling"%} Associate glossary terms to data assets making it easier for data discovery {%/inlineCallout%}
