Authorize or reject a diagram

Once a diagram is ready to be authorized, a request for authorization will notify the assigned authorizers and an entry will appear in their Authorization To Do list. When all authorizers have authorized a diagram it is ready to be promoted to a master copy.

Rejecting a diagram will Email the author, who will then decide whether to cancel the authorization request or agree on a resolution with the authorizer. A diagram cannot be promoted until it has been authorized by all assigned authorizers.

1.	From the Manage menu choose Authorization and then To Do List.

The Authorization To Do List dialog displays all diagrams and files that you have been requested to authorize. Holding Ctrl will allow you to select and authorize multiple diagrams and files.

2.	Right-click the diagram and choose Authorize or Reject.

You can navigate to the diagram by double-clicking it. You can also right-click the diagram in order to view the request notes, change log and associated feedback.
