"Internal approval" is a feature that allows you to specify an approver before requesting a signature. The signature request is sent out only after the approver approves. When rejecting an approval, the approver can provide comments and send the request back to the sender.
*Approvers can only be members of the same team.
1. Select "Send a Document," upload a document that requires a signature request and enter the document's information.
*Prepare Document for Requesting an E-Signature
2. Check "Add Internal Approver" button in the "People Involved" section, to open "Internal Approval" section
* The "Internal Approval" feature must be enabled via the Team Settings page in advance (only available to team owners) to see the "Add Internal Approver" button

You will receive a "Document Revision Request E-mail", which will include a comment from the approver.
*If the document itself needs to be modified, you must re-upload the file as a new document. Document files that have already been uploaded cannot be modified. Changes related to the document details, parties, metadata, field components, etc can be modified.
*If the document is rejected, the status shown in the documents list page / document details page will change to "Send", and the document usage count will not be changed.
