approval action icon, .

you can approve or reject the item.
If you are the page or content manager (with the Manage
or Manage Content privilege on the page), or page group
administrator, move a pending item to the next approver (for example,
if an approver is not available), even if you are not among the list
of approvers. Click the item's approval action icon, .
This takes you to the Approval Notification Details page from which
you can approve (or reject an item). If you approve the item, the
pending item moves to the next approver in the routing list (or is
approved, if there are no additional approvers).
If you are an item submitter, edit a rejected item. Click
next to the rejected item. After you edit the item, it will be
resubmitted for approval.
