Hi all,

Can anyone help with how to approve events. While defining the programs, there’s an option to define the workflow. But the Data Approval feature in Reports works only for Data Sets and not for programs.

Is there any way to do this?

Regards,

I have seen this in doc :

 ![eb7ce8fbd2ed8457eb31ad6219cbb4c](https://dhis2.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/3X/1/1/114399a3338fbf02a0f6296dfe075c9093ff0a29.png)  
I couldn’t find the ‌ **approval workflow** ‌ option in the DHIS2 demo versions 2.39-2.42. I saw this feature mentioned in the user manual—has it been removed?

Dear @linxd,

Thanks for raising this!

This is a mistake in the docs - there used to be an option for this in Maintenance (see [Jira](https://dhis2.atlassian.net/browse/DHIS2-120?focusedCommentId=154614)) but it was removed as the functionality was not implemented in eg the Data Approval app.

I have raised a [docs PR](https://github.com/dhis2/dhis2-docs/pull/1623) to update the documentation.

Best,
