When you are in a form, you will notice a View toggle in the left-hand column. You can toggle the View between Review or Status. This will be toggled to Review when you open a form.
- Review: This view allows you to review, edit, approve, deny, or send back the form (Figure 7).
- Status: This view shows you what steps the form has already gone through, what steps need completed, everyone’s comments, and who has approved, denied, and/or sent back the form so far (Figure 8).
