Narrated walkthrough using verified staging screenshots. Synthetic records; account identifiers masked. Voice: Microsoft Zira. English captions. Captured 7 November 2026.

## 1. Complete the record

This walkthrough shows how to request approval and recover from a stale request, using a synthetic staging app.

## 1. Complete the record

Complete the required fields. Select means unanswered. Choose Yes or No explicitly, then use Send for approval.

## 2. Review the pending request

Open Approvals to review requests waiting for you. Check every proposed value, including zero amounts and No answers.

## 2. Review the pending request

Approve only after reviewing the request. A pending new record is not added to the list until approval completes.

## 3. Recover from a changed record

If the record changes while approval is waiting, the system refuses the stale request instead of overwriting newer data.

## 3. Recover from a changed record

Withdraw your pending request. Review the current record, make the intended change, and send a fresh request for approval.

## 4. Check the saved result

After approval, reopen the list and check the saved result. This example retained the edited title, zero amount and No answer.
