How to approve word document?

What is Content Approval?
Content approvals is a way to make sure that content is reviewed and approved before it is published. One or more appointed reviewers must then approve the content item before it can be published. The reviewers are defined by an administrator in an approval sequence.
An Approval workflow is a SharePoint feature that routes a document or other item stored in a SharePoint list or library to one or more people for their approval or rejection. The workflow automates, streamlines, and standardizes the whole process.
How to update approval status after a change?
Create your own column with Approved, Pending, Rejected radio buttons. Use a 2010 workflow to update the approval status after any change. Create an ItemUpdated event hanlder. In the event handler check the status column. If status is approved, break permission inheritance on the item, remove contribute permission and add read permission. P.S.
What happens when approval status is reset to pending?
Any change to the item results in the approval status being reset to “pending”. I want to use the approval column as more of acceptance, and I want it to stay accepted no matter what changes are made to the body of the item (barring of course, explicitly setting the approval status back to pending or rejected).
What happens if file is changed after approval?
If the file is changed after being approved, the approver have to change the approval status and approve the workflow again. For your issue, you need to choose “start this workflow to approve publishing a major version of an item” and you need to start the workflow manually.
How does workflow status change from pending to approved?
When both of these are checked and I upload a document and Approve the workflow, the Workflow status appears as Approved but the Approval Status says Pending. So if I then click the ellipse and Approve the file, the Approval Status does change to Approved but then the workflow goes back to In Progress.
