# Send a Confluence page for approval

To send a Confluence page for approval, select **Approval** in the Capable row under the page title, add approvers by name or from **Recent users**, optionally set how many must approve under the settings cog, then select **Send requests**. Everyone you asked is notified straight away, and the status shows under the title.

## What happens next

* The status under the title changes to In review and updates as people answer.
* Reviewers get an email, plus Slack or Microsoft Teams if your site is connected.
* If the page is edited before everyone answers, the review restarts on the new version. See [How approvals work](https://help.gocapable.com/approval/how-approvals-work.html).
* Choosing a team replaces everyone already on the approval, including anyone who has answered.
