# Generate approvals using the approvers related list

It is possible to manually add approvers to a request.

Additional approvers can be added by clicking the **Edit** button in the Approvers section near the bottom of a request. When an approver is added manually, the status for that approver defaults to **Not Yet Requested**. When the status of the approver changes to **Requested**, the approver is sent an email requesting approval action.
