Enable the GRC Approval Configurator from the Policy and Compliance Properties page to allow multiple approvers for policy extension approvals, replacing the single default approver (Compliance Manager).

To enhance flexibility in policy extension approvals, enable the GRC Approval Configurator from the Policy and Compliance Properties page. This configuration allows multiple approvers to be
designated, thereby overcoming the previous constraint of relying on a single default approver, namely the Compliance Manager.

For more information, see [GRC Approval Configurator for approving policy exceptions and extensions](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/IVonXySQUFsTF5E2M1ypiA "Users can now manage policy exceptions and extensions with granular, multi-level approval flows using the GRC Approval Configurator.").
