Document Rejection

If any one of the designated approvers rejects the document, the workflow will complete at that point.

When a document is rejected, the following processes occur:

  • The Lifecycle Status is set to “Draft”.
  • The Workflow Status is set to “Approval Rejected”.
  • The Audit Log is updated as indicated in the section titled Audit Log for Document Rejected.
  • The document permissions are reset to their pre-approval status.
  • All “In Progress” approval tasks are cancelled.
  • All approvers whose approval tasks were cancelled receive a cancellation notification.
  • The document version is incremented to the next minor version.
  • Email notification of the document’s rejection is sent to all approvers.
  • The document permissions will be set to the unique permissions that allow editing.
