Can Approvers be removed from an Approval Flow?

A. Own requests:
- Head over to the My Requests tab to view your previously submitted requests.

- In List view, according to your search terms and filters, matching results will show on top of the list.
- Click on the Request in question to open the Request Details view.
- On the Request Details view, click on the Edit Approval Flow ✏ icon next to Approvers.
- Click on the Trash Can icon to remove the approver.
- Click on Save.
B. Other user’s request:
- Go to the Reports tab.
- Head over to the Company Requests subtab.
