There may be instances when admins need to step in to force approve change requests if an approver in the approval flow is unable to approve the request due to being on leave, vacation, or any other reason.
Admins have two options – they can either force approve "a step" in the approval flow or force approve "all remaining steps," bypassing the other approvers in the approval flow and automatically approving the request.
