View an Approval report for multiple components

Before you send components for publishing or translation, you can submit a request for Inspire to provide details about the components. Inspire provides a completeness report that checks for the filtering of conditional text, approval state, electronic signatures, lock state, an invalid state, invalid XML, and whether there are comments or track changes in the component. Additionally, if a component has been sent to translation, Inspire can check to see if the translation has been completed or if it still needs to be translated (the job is in progress).
