To perform an approval on a draft document:

Repeat this process for each required user. To remove any assigned owners, click the down-arrow to the right of the user's name and select "Remove Copyholder"
4. Respond by either approving or rejecting the document, a comments section will appear to confirm your reasons for your choice

Note: It is possible for users to respond on behalf of other approvers.
