Unified approval rules are deprecated in favor of multiple approval rules, which provide more flexibility. You might not be able to migrate your Unified approval rules to multiple approval rules without breaking changes. To help you migrate manually, we introduced migration documentation. If you don't migrate manually before unified approval rules are removed, GitLab will automatically migrate your settings. In GitLab 15.11, UI support for unified approval rules was removed. You can still access unified approval rules with the API. # # OPTIONAL END OF SUPPORT FIELDS # # If an End of Support period applies, the announcement should be shared with GitLab Support # in the `#spt_managers` channel in Slack, and mention `@gitlab-com/support` in this MR. # end_of_support_milestone: # (optional) Use "XX.YY" format.
