6. Add more reviewers in popup window / edit reviewer privileges
7. Click Start Process

Checkbox options: #

[] Add to Favorites: This adds the line of reviewers set up in the process as a Favorite group for easy selecting on future process

Processing in Process Menu: #

In the Process menu, you can select Start Process to select a file from your computer, files from your Google Drive, or from Templates. With your selected file, you begin your approval process.
