There is no manual option to skip a specific approval level for exceptional or urgent cases \u2014 the system only bypasses an approval level automatically in one scenario: when the approver at that level is the same person who has already approved at an earlier level within the same request.<\/p>\n

If you need to speed up approvals in general, you can enable the “Allow higher levels to approve early”<\/strong> option when configuring multi-cycle approval. This allows an approver at a higher level to approve or reject before lower levels are completed, immediately finalizing the approval path and automatically skipping the remaining levels.<\/p>\n

\n

To permanently change the approval path \u2014 such as removing a level or changing approvers \u2014 you can go to Approval Configuration and update the applied setting.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[8012],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-139488","tutorial","type-tutorial","status-publish","hentry","category-attendance-settings"],"yoast_head":"\nCan I skip an approval level in exceptional cases? - Daftra Knowledge Base<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/docs.daftra.com\/en\/tutorial\/can-i-skip-an-approval-level-in-exceptional-cases\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Can I skip an approval level in exceptional cases? - Daftra Knowledge Base\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"There is no manual option to skip a specific approval level for exceptional or urgent cases \u2014 the system only bypasses an approval level automatically in one scenario: when the approver at that level is the same person who has already approved at an earlier level within the same request.
