# Managing approvals (application owners)

If you submit a request for application promotion to your administrator, you can track the application's approval status by accessing the **Promotion Approvals** page, located under the **Management** tab.

## About this task

From this page, you can:

* Filter for approved, promoted, pending, rejected, or canceled approvals, or by environments or integration type. Use the **Visible** filter, which is enabled by default, to hide approvals that are in a canceled, promoted, or rejected status.

* **Promote** an approved application, or **Cancel** an approval request.

## Steps

1. Select your filters.

   You can filter by:

   * **Status**: **Approved**, **Pending**, or **Rejected**. The page automatically filters for any approved, pending, or rejected approval requests.

   * Environments.

   * Integration types (OAuth and OIDC or SAML).

   Click the filters to add or remove them.

2. To promote approved applications to an environment, click **Promote** in the row for the application that you want to promote.

   For more information, see [Promoting applications](pingcentral_promoting_apps.html).

   |   | There can only be one outstanding promotion approval request per application to an environment. |

   |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            |

   |   | If an environment is offline or if a PingCentral administrator has set the environment status to **Disabled**, the environment is undergoing maintenance. During this time, the **Promote** button is inaccessible. You will be unable to promote the application while the environment is offline or disabled and undergoing maintenance. |

3. To cancel an approval request, click **Cancel** in the row for the application that you no longer want to request promotion approval.
