# Turn on approval buttons in Microsoft Teams for Confluence

📝

Microsoft Teams support is coming soon.

To let approvers approve or reject Confluence pages from Microsoft Teams, a site administrator turns on **Microsoft Teams approval actions** on the Microsoft Teams card of the **Notifications** tab in Global settings. It is off by default. Request messages then carry a comment box and **Approve** and **Reject** buttons.

## Before you start

* You need to be a Confluence site administrator.
* Microsoft Teams must already be connected. See [Connect Microsoft Teams to Capable for Confluence](https://help.gocapable.com/capable/connect-microsoft-teams-to-capable-for-confluence.html).
* Spaces that require a sign-off code never get buttons, because a Teams button cannot collect the code.

## Steps

1. Open **Global settings** for Capable. In Approval, you can use **Global settings** under Manage in the sidebar.
2. Select the **Notifications** tab.
3. On the **Microsoft Teams** card, check **Microsoft Teams integration** is on.
4. Turn on **Microsoft Teams approval actions**.

## What happens next

New request messages carry the buttons. An answer from Teams lands on the approval exactly as if it was given on the page, and every approver's card updates to show the outcome. If you turn the switch off again, older cards answer that actions from Microsoft Teams are turned off, and people answer on the page.
