• Reject when Disagree: If one of the reviewers in the same layer rejects the process, the whole process will be rejected and cannot proceed to the next approval layer. 
• Publishing: With this option enabled, a user is able to create a published and static version of a document. It receives a dedicated and shareable URL.
• Recipient(CC/Group CC Email): People who are included in CC or Group CC are not being included as reviewers and they can view the documents after the document has been approved. Documents that are sent to me via CC can be viewed at Process -> CC’d Docs menu. 
• Reprocess: With this option enabled, you can allow users to make changes to an already processed document, then resubmit for approval again, maintaining version history.
• Reset/Edit Process: With this option enabled, a submitter can edit the approval line and CC information or reset the entire approval process after submitting a document.

• Approval by Email reply: This feature allows you and your domain members to reply directly to a Collavate Process email to approve or reject a document.
• Process PDF attachment in email: The “PDF Attachment to Email” feature automatically converts your submitted documents to a PDF and attaches them to the Collavate process email. Each document can then be viewed, printed, signed, or commented on outside of the Collavate interface. This also allows you to maintain a hard copy of a processed document for your records if need be.
