When your teammate requests your approval, you'll receive an email notification and see the approval request in your team workspace (if you’re on the Advanced, Team, Organization, or Enterprise plans) and project dashboard pages. You can click on the link provided in the email notification to jump right to the request or access the approval request from the dashboard.
Workspace:
Project dashboard:
Zeplin lists all approval request batches on the approval view, including details about who requested your approval and any comments the requester left.
To see all the approvals, click on the Approvals button at the top of the dashboard. You can see all the screens requested approval from you and other users as grouped. Click your batch to open the approval view and start your review.
Approval view
This view is all about keeping things simple: it shows only the screens that are part of the approval, so you can focus on what you need to review without distractions.
On the right panel, you can see all the screens and their variants in your batch. You can add comments as you go through each screen. These comments will only be visible to you until you finish your review. As you finish your review, you can select from three options: Reviewed, Approved, or Changes requested.
Requesting changes
If you want to ask for more iterations and consider making changes before approving, you can select the "Changes requested" option. This will post all pending comments and promptly notify the requester via email.
Requesting a change don’t remove the approval request. You can approve it anytime after the changes are made.
Approving requests
Once you’re ready to approve all screens and share your feedback, select the "Approved" option in the approval view. This will also post all pending comments and promptly notify the requester via email.
Once all the requests have been approved, screens will be tagged as "Approved" in the "Approval Status" tag group to help you filter approved screens within your project dashboard. Check out this article for more details.
While viewing a screen detail, you’ll notice the banner on the right side of the screen is also updated — indicating a successful approval.
☝️ You can use the "Reviewed" option if you want to share your feedback without explicit approval.
