Multiple approvals on document with changes

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 16

Good day all

 

I am corrently working on a process for document revisions and approvals in Sharepoint using Flow. A document is created and has to be approved 3 times, by different people and also move to different folders for each part of the process. 

 

Before each of the approvals occur, the file can be updated. 

 

Currently the process requires the document to be moved to a different folder after each approval. I have set up the flow to create a new file in a different folder after each approval and then delete the old file in the previous folder.

 

The idea is that once the file has been approved and moved to the next folder, someone should be able to make changes to the document and then approve it or reject it and the updated version of the document should then be moved to the next folder in the process.

 

The problem is however that I can check out the file and upload a new version, check the document in and then approve or reject the document to be moved to the next folder. However, the updated version of the document is not moved, but the version of the document prior to the changes.

 

What actions can I used to prevent this as I am currently using the create new file and delete file actions in sharepoint.

 

Any help will be highly appreciated.

 

Kind regards

Jaco-Louis

    Hi @Jaco-Louis,

     

    Could you please share a screenshot of the configuration of your flow?

     

    I afraid that you doesn't get the new latest file content before you create a new file.

     

    Please add an action "Get file content" before each create new file action to see if the issue still exists.

     

     

    Best regards,

    Alice
