# About Approving and Publishing Workflows

> Overview of the publish approval process for governing workflow deployments in Blink.

Blink supports a streamlined **publish approval** process, designed to enable administrators in enforcing stricter control over workflow publish permissions.

<Note> **Note**: To enable **Workflow Publish Approval** process in your workspace, you need to create a new custom role. This role should be set to the [workspace role scope](/docs/blink-platform/account-management/roles#workspaces-user-role-scope) and have `workflow:view` and `workflow:edit` permissions but not the `workflow:publish` permission. To learn more about creating **custom roles** [Click Here](/docs/blink-platform/account-management/roles#adding-a-new-custom-role). </Note>

The Workflow Publish Approval feature is divided into four sections:
