Approve the evidence being provided before the requester views the evidence. When
evidence is provided in response to an evidence request, the evidence may need an approval
before the evidence is sent back to the requester. This ability ensures security and
confidentiality of the evidence.

## Before you begin

* Approve the request if there are no issues or concerns.
* Request revision of the evidence attached in case it is not correct or needs rectification.
* Request information if the approver wants more details about the attached evidence.
