# See who approved a Confluence page and which version

To see who approved a Confluence page and which version they approved, select **Approval** under the page title and open the history. Each row shows the time, person, action, status change, comment and page version, and a padlock marks responses signed with an authenticator code. Nothing is ever removed.

## Before you start

| **You need**                | **Why**                                                       |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Permission to read the page | Signed-out readers see the status only, never the event list. |

## Steps

1. Select **Approval** under the page title.
2. Select the history icon.
3. The history is grouped into version cards. Each closed card is a finished round of review, kept exactly as it was.
4. Select the version link on a row to open that version of the page in Confluence.

For a controlled document, add the [approval macro](https://help.gocapable.com/approval/the-approval-macro.html) to the page with **History** as its display mode, so every reader sees the record without having to know where to click.

## Good to know

* Answers from Slack and Microsoft Teams are recorded exactly like answers on the page.
* Approvals moved from the standalone Capable Approval app carry an **Imported** badge.
* Administrative changes, such as settings, team membership and authenticator resets, are not in the history.
* For many pages at once, use [Search and reporting](https://help.gocapable.com/approval/search-and-reporting.html). Only the history view shows the signed padlock.
