Policy : Skip awaiting approval state

[jaikellaila]

Hello,

I see in the IRM documentation that for a policy workflow that :
Process Flow: Awaiting Approval

Once a policy has been reviewed, it moves on to the next stage. If someone has been assigned to be an Approver, the policy will move on the Awaiting Approval stage. Otherwise, it moves on to the Published stage. While optional, this step is recommended.

1. When I create a policy without assigning an approver, Once reviewed it doesn't move from review to publish while the approver is empty. Do you know if there is an additional action to move from review to Publish without the awaiting approval step?

Thank you

I'm experiencing the same contradiction between SN documentation and OOB behavior. Did you find a solution to this?

It is not automatically published. To my knowledge approval and approver are mandatory OOTB.

Please check as well the KB admin account.

OOTB the KB Admin of the KB has to approve the publishing of an KB article too. If your policy is reviewd (and approved) in the policy and compliance area -> there is a handover to the KB processes and the policy becoems a KB article.

No KB article is published woithouit KB approval. Published policy documents are pubkished KB articles.
