the initiative on the Initiatives > Initiatives screen.

Then select Approve. Any missing data will be listed in the Business Rules Results screen and the initiative cannot be approved until all data issues have been resolved. If no missing data is found, then the initiative will be approved, though it may take a little while before that process is completed.
Note: You cannot unapprove the initiative. If you need to make changes to an approved initiative, you will need to create a new version of the initiative.
