When you submit a scenario for approval, approvers review your proposed changes and decide whether to approve or reject the scenario. Only scenario owners can submit for approval. A scenario can have multiple owners.

When you submit, both you and the approvers receive an email notification that the scenario has been submitted for approval. Approvers also receive a task for reviewing the scenario and are added as collaborators to the scenario.

To submit an approval request for your proposed scenario:

1. In your scenario, verify that the **Changes** tab accurately summarizes all your proposed changes.
2. Select **Request Approval**.
3. In the **Request Approval** dialog, enter a comment for the approver. 
   - This can be a quick explanation for your proposed changes or additional background information.
   - Any comments you enter are added to the **Comments** section at the bottom of the scenario.
4. Select **Submit**.
