Approvals/Effort
Hello!
We are looking into the approvals feature of Wrike. We use Google docs so I'm finding that using those docs, we can't utilize the approvals feature like if we were to download the doc and then upload it with the dot markers. I would love to be able to review/approve Google docs directly in Wrike instead of having to open the Google doc and add comments there.
The other thing we want to do is be able to assign effort to the review tasks. We've been diligently adding time to all of our tasks, but some of our reviews can take quite a bit of time and there is currently no way to allocate that effort unless we add a separate subtask.
I'd love to have the ask as a task, be able to assign the review on that task and assign effort to it, update the versions until approved and then once completed move on to the next step.

I would like to 2nd the request to assign effort to an approval. I would furthermore like to see approvals automatically show up as a task on the Approver's To-Do list and any dashboards.
As the OP mentioned, reviews/approvals can take a lot of time, and the needs to be captured easily and effectively. Thanks!
