What is the purpose of "Approval Column" and "Approval Journal Column" in Approval activity?

Hi talents

Do you know what is the purpose of  "Approval Column" and "Approval Journal Column" in Approval activity?

There is an explanation in the wiki, but I'm not sure what is it used for?

Thanks,

The Task table to which the approval record is linked to will have 'approval' field and 'approval_history' field.

That's to indicate, after the approval is approved, which field in the Task table will set to Approved or Rejected and which journal field will store the history of approval, for ex, If I approve, an approval history will be added to as - Sanjiv Meher approved/rejected the request.

The approval history can then be added to the Activities to track the approval activity on the Task itself.
