members follow as they work on work items. The approval tracking process
is specific to a workflow.

For
example, in the Defect Workflow in the Scrum process, when a user
sets the Verification approval to Approved,
the Verify workflow action is performed, which
changes the state of the work item from Resolved to Verified. Similarly,
when a user sets the Verification approval to Rejected,
the Reopen workflow action is performed.
