Overview

The Manual Approval Required step allows you to incorporate human approvals and manual verification into your deployment workflows. When a manual intervention point is reached, the deployment process pauses and waits for an explicit approval or rejection from authorized team members.
  • Quality Control: Add verification steps before critical deployments
  • Compliance: Ensure proper sign-off for regulated environments
  • Risk Management: Prevent unauthorized or unreviewed changes
  • Team Collaboration: Involve relevant stakeholders in the deployment process

  2. Click on an environment in the environments view
  3. Go to the Policies tab
  4. Add or edit the Approval policy
  5. Enable Require approval before deployment
