Editing an approval that is linked to a workflow task

Both stand-alone approvals and workflow approvals are listed in the approval views. When you select an approval from either the view mode of a workflow or from a list in an approval view, IBM® Unica® Marketing Operations displays the approval in a pop-up window. When you edit an approval that is linked to an approval workflow task, your work is reflected in the workflow task as follows.
