|---|---|---|---|
| Communications lead approves the text | Required | 1 | 1 |

A stage opens only when every lower stage is signed off. Sign-offs without a stage can be given at any time.
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.
