    Every module has an <strong>Approval Queue</strong> page that lists the approval requests pending for that module, with one tab per approvable object type. Open it from the module in the left sidebar, pick the object type, and open a request to review it.
  </div>
</div>

## What is it?

The **Approval Queue** gives you one place to access and manage all pending approval items in a module. Each module in the left sidebar has its own queue, and each queue has one tab for each approvable object type in that module:

<table class="attr-table">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th style="width: 28%;">Module</th>
      <th>Tabs in its Approval Queue</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td class="field-cell">Data Vault</td>
      <td>Data Element</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="field-cell">Feature Engineering</td>
      <td>Feature</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="field-cell">Model Studio</td>
      <td>Dataset, Model</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="field-cell">Prospecting, Underwriting, Customer Management</td>
      <td>Policy</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="field-cell">Product Framework</td>
      <td>Framework</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="field-cell">Resources</td>
      <td>Global Function, Report, Reason Code</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

Object types that do not go through approval, such as Data Tables, Products, Global Variables, and Runtime Parameters, have no tab.

## How to use it

<details open class="step">
<summary>

#### Open the queue for a module

</summary>

In the left sidebar, expand the module and click **Approval Queue**. For example, **Resources → Approval Queue**.

</details>
<details open class="step">
<summary>

#### Pick the object type

</summary>

Click the tab for the object type you want to review. A tab with nothing pending shows **No reviews found**.

</details>
<details open class="step">
<summary>

#### Review a request

</summary>

Open a request from the list to review it. The reviewer statuses and what each one means are covered in [Approve an Object](/user-guide/how-tos/approve-an-object/#outcomes-what-each-reviewer-status-means).

</details>

## Other places approvals appear

- The **My work** view of the home page has an **Approvals** panel. See [Navigate the Platform](/user-guide/how-tos/navigate-the-platform/).
- Each object's own **Approvals** tab shows the requests for that object.

Who can act as a reviewer is controlled by the **Approve** permission on a role; see [Configure Roles and Permissions](/user-guide/admin-guide/configure-roles/). The reviewers on a request come from the [Approval Workflow](/user-guide/admin-guide/configure-approval-workflow/) for that object type.

## What's Next

- [Approve an Object](/user-guide/how-tos/approve-an-object/) for the full request and review flow.
- [Configure an Approval Workflow](/user-guide/admin-guide/configure-approval-workflow/) to define who reviews what.
