How To: Disable approval workflow for a publishing site in SP2010
by  Daniel Bugday  on 5/11/2011 4:32 PM

I’m about to create a new site using the Publishing Portal Site Template, and wanted to disable approval process as i feel that i don’t need approval for this site.

Here’s the steps to disable the approval process on a publishing site:

1.  Go to the Pages library settings and click on versioning settings and click “no”:

2. The click workflow settings and remove the approval workflow:

After you approve something, we always get a pop up asking for comments. How can we stop the comments popup.
