To show Previously approved document when document Rejected

Aug 20 2018 11:28 PM
Hi
 
I'm facing some issue in sharepoint Document library in O365 environment. I need to show the previously approved document when document is rejeceted after editing and sent for approval.
 
Below is the flow:
  • when user uploads a new document ,other users will not see this document since it does not have any approved versions.Now approver user approves the document, then the document will be visible to all the users.
  • let say a user edit the document , add some text, save it , then the document status will be pending.
  • and all users will still see the last approved version, which sound valid.
  • then approver user approve the document , so the pending modification will be visible to all users.. so far everything is working well.
  • But Issue is when approver user rejects the document, the last approved version document is not visible to user.why rejecting an approved document will hide it completely from all users?
Is there any work around to show Previously approved document in the view when document is rejected for the 2nd time?
