Use it
#A Jira administrator opens Jira settings, Apps, Approval Flow settings, tab Templates, and clicks Install next to the template in the Template library section. It becomes an ordinary approval policy: apply it to a work item from the panel, or map it to an issue type. Approvers are people, so templates never contain any: assign them on the work item or with an approval rule.
