# Workflows

The Workflows section is where you track what codev's CI/CD system is doing and approve release requests.

## Runs

Every action that codev's workflow engine performs — building packages, deploying to a sandbox, releasing to production — is tracked as a run. This page shows all of them.

Use this page to:

* **Check if a deployment finished** — filter by status to find completed or failed runs.
* **Debug a stuck deployment** — a "Waiting" status usually means the run is at the approval gate. Check **Pending Approvals**.
* **Investigate a failure** — open the run details to see what went wrong.

You can filter by category (build, release, sandbox), who triggered it, status, and time range.

## Pending Approvals

When someone requests a release from the [Release Candidates](https://docs.flxbl.io/flxbl/codev/managing-release-candidates#release) page, it does not deploy immediately. The request enters an approval gate and appears here.

Designated approvers review the request and click **Approve** or **Reject**:

* **Approved** — codev locks the target environment, deploys the packages, and unlocks it. The release appears on the [Releases](https://docs.flxbl.io/flxbl/codev/ci-cd/overview-2) page.
* **Rejected** — the deployment is cancelled. The release candidate remains available for a future attempt.

This approval workflow ensures that no deployment reaches production without human review.
