This video shows how you how to create an approvals process. For our example when someone adds a film to a suggested watch list, you (or someone else) will be able to accept or reject the recommendation, giving your reasons. This acceptance or rejection (with the corresponding reason) will be flagged in SharePoint and the person who added the film will receive a notification of the result.
