Submit a Requirements Specification for Approval

Submit a requirements specification for approval by selecting Submit for Approval from the Actions menu. Approving a requirements specification isn't required, but the review and approval process helps to codify the completion of the requirement design work.

An approved requirements specification is locked from further updates.

The Submit for Approval dialog enables you to select who must review and approve. Click either Add Approvers or Add Observers to search for the desired users with the necessary manage or review privileges to meet your needs. Reviewers can also comment on the requirements specification. When you have finished adding reviewers, click the Submit button. Its status changes to Submitted. Remember that you can't modify a requirements specification once you submit it and it can't be sent for approval in its current form again. However, at any time, you can save an approved requirements specification to a new version and then modify it.
