# approval workflow

A defined sequence that shows who prepares, reviews, approves, and releases work.

An approval workflow makes responsibility visible. It can be as simple as a matter checklist with an owner, due date, review status, and final approval. The right sequence depends on the practice area and document type. Keep the number of handoffs small, make the next action clear, and preserve the approved version. Woven Legal says its workflow guidance is shaped by hands-on law firm experience and focuses on practical systems teams can use.
