I have an out of the box workflow (Approval - SharePoint 2010) that I have assigned to a Pages list which users need to manually run to ask for a document to be approved. Once it is ran the approvers on the list get an email and we can click on the link to approve it when we go to the page we see:
Visitors can't see recent changes until they're approved.Approve it
This is what I expect but when we click the link it is just asking for a comment not taking us to the task to approve or reject. If we put in a comment it rejects the document. It also rejects it if we click publish then approve (it asks for a comment again).
At one point I had this working but started screwing around trying to make it not spam approvers with emails to approve their own stuff before realizing I could just make it manually triggered. For the life of me I cannot figure out how to get it working again and I have gone so far as to blow the site away and start over. I can go into the Pages library and see the task assigned to me and then manually start the approval or rejection but it should work from the approve it link! Anyone have any ideas what to look at?
Oh and I forgot to mention when its rejected by clicking on the "approve it" link the original editor no longer has access to the document even though the site permissions say the original editor and approvers should.
