The approval is applied on reservations that match the conditions.\n\n## Before you begin\n\n**Important:** Starting with Workplace Reservation Management version 2.1.2, the approval options function as follows:\n\n-   For existing customers, it was possible to configure approval functionality on the Reservable module to approve reservations. After the upgrade, this possibility remains the same until a new approval definition is configured using the following procedure. After you configure a new approval definition, the approval process will run based on the upgrade.\n\n    After the upgrade, disable the **WSD Reservation Approval Flow** in the **Flow designer**.\n\n-   For new customers, the following procedure explains how to configure an approval definition to approve a reservation.\n\nRole required: sn\\_wsd\\_core.admin\n\n## Procedure\n\n1.
