Important Try [Flow Approval Processes](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.automate_automated_approvals.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "As your company grows, so does the complexity of your approvals, often requiring input from multiple people in different departments across different time zones. This complexity can mean that you spend more time waiting for each person to complete their review in the right order. Flow Approval Processes helps you coordinate multistep reviews that involve users, systems, and conditional paths."), a modern alternative to Classic Approval Processes. This new feature provides a more flexible, user-friendly flow-based interface, and it can trigger on record changes, supporting Apex extensibility and detailed logging for compliance and audit trails. It supports dynamic routing based on data and business rules, unlike Classic Approval Processes, which are tied to specific objects and offer limited support for processes by using conditions. With Flow Approval Processes, you can monitor submitted records and quickly identify bottlenecks, giving you unprecedented visibility into approval workflows. And, like Classic Approval Processes, Flow Approval Processes don’t consume automation credits or orchestration runs.

    If users move to a new role before they complete all their pending approval requests, transfer the remainder to another user.
- **[Remove Pending Approval Requests for Classic Approval Processes](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.data_approval_requests_remove.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    If you want to clean up old approval requests—such as to delete a classic approval process—remove them from your Salesforce org. After approval requests are removed, the associated records are unlocked and removed from all classic approval processes, so they no longer appear on the approver’s list of pending approval requests.
