Some relevant notes/links shared by the team:

• Per Jonathan, if using SharePoint, then use a Status choice column that is updated using a Power Automate Approval task, Update Item. There are many videos out there on this topic, such as this one from MVP Reza Dorrani [https://youtu.be/KTyG1U4ioyw]
• If using Teams approvals, Geoff shares the following link: Create and test an approval workflow with Power Automate [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-automate/modern-approvals]
