Configure LazyApproval phrases for sites and site collections

This topic describes how to configure custom LazyApproval phrases for sites and site collections.

Note: Required permissions for these instructions are as follows. Site collection administrator for site collections or Site administrator (full control) for sites.

When LazyApproval is enabled on your farm, you can configure custom recognized phrases specific to a site collection or site. You can also revert to the default phrases configured for the farm.

With LazyApproval, workflow task actions can be configured to accept responses via reply using the selected transmission methods: email and OCS/Lync conversations (the latter requires Enterprise Edition). For more information on LazyApproval and its farm configuration, see Managing LazyApproval settings (farm level).
