@marcusdroy as discussed, i think the vision of this item is to

1. Create an Actions / ToDo page (thinking lightning bolt as the icon but could be anything)

• Would show the manual and approvals that you need to action

2. A page to manage approval groups

• These can then be referenced in the manual approval task in the editor as a drop down.

3. Update the Manual Approval task to have a drop-down of groups to choose.

• If you don't choose a group, it will assign to anyone to action in the team. (we will need to add clear info text on this)

In the long run, this could then be extended even further with Forms, i.e. a form that needs input and needs actioning, and even have links for forms to be sent to external users borrowing from the drag and drop interface in Catalog Authoring.

Extension into external approvers where by they get either an email or there is a link with a onetime code that can be approved by that approver. Comes to a page of some kind.

Extension 3 is introduction of User Roles. So we have an Approver/Action role that only sees the Actions tab.
