What is an "Approval Workflow" in Smartsheet?

An "Approval Workflow" in Smartsheet refers to a preset sequence of steps designed to facilitate the review and approval processes for tasks or documents. This feature streamlines the management of approvals by clearly defining the steps that need to be taken, who is responsible for each step, and how information is communicated throughout the process. For instance, an approval workflow can automatically notify team members when their input is necessary, helping to ensure that nothing is overlooked and that approvals are tracked effectively. This organized approach not only enhances productivity but also ensures accountability and clarity in decision-making.

The other choices relate to different functionalities within Smartsheet but do not accurately describe the specific purpose and functionality of an Approval Workflow. Tracking project budgets focuses on financial management, a visualization tool is geared towards analyzing data, and linking different sheets pertains to data organization rather than the structured review and approval process represented by an Approval Workflow.
