# Select tab pages from previous steps

For each approval step, you can select the fields to be approved.

To add fields to be approved, you can use existing tab pages from previous steps in the same data entry workflow template.

If you add a tab page:

- An approval tab page is created with the same name.
- All field groups of the added tab page are added to the approval tab page.
- For each field group of the added tab page, all fields are added to the new approval field group.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note**
> 
> - On the tab page selection page, for each field, a separate record is created in the right (selection) pane. Each field record indicates both the tab page and the field group to which the field belongs.
> - You can remove individual fields from the selection before you save the selection and close the selection page.
