Schedule approval stages relative to action deadlines

Reuse an approval schedule without setting every stage date by hand. Approval templates can define each stage's due date as a number of working days before or after the action deadline. Workspace workweeks and holidays are respected when the template is applied.

If the action has no deadline, the application date is used. Saving an existing approval as a template converts its stage dates into relative offsets so the gaps can carry forward to future work.

Where to find it: Set Due (days) on a stage in the approval template editor. The apply preview shows the relative schedule. Leave the field blank for a stage without a due date.

Who it helps: Teams running repeated editorial, client, or other approval sequences can preserve review timing as each action's deadline changes.
