The Approve Items page enables a user with 'Approval' permissions to review, approve and reject assets which have been submitted to them for approval by users who have "upload with approval" (UWA) permissions.

NB: An approver may also have a defined list of categories which they are allowed to approve assets for.

When a UWA user uploads an asset it goes into a 'requires approval' state and the users who have permission to approve the uploaded asset are notified by email that there is an asset awaiting approval.

The approver can then visit the Approve Items page and see a list of all the items pending approval along with a thumbnail representation of each item. Next to each item will be a list of actions that the approver can perform for the asset in question (submit to live, reject for re-submission, etc.). 

If the user has the ability to approve assets for more than one workflow then a selector will be displayed at the top of the Approve Items page to enable them to select the workflow that they would like to see un-approved items for.

The user performs an action on an asset by selecting the desired radio button, optionally entering a message to display to the next user before finally clicking the 'Submit' button for the asset in question.

There is also the option of batch updating the assets pending approval for the workflow in question. The user clicks on the link "start a new batch update" to view the items that are awaiting approval: they can update, approve or delete each one in turn.
