# Deferred Approvals

Deferred Approvals is a manual withdrawal management mode that allows you to collect approval signatures without automatically withdrawing funds.  This mode is disabled by default.

#### Enabling Deferred Approvals

To enable Deferred Approvals mode, use the following command:

```
/deffered_approvals
```

Once enabled, the system switches to manual withdrawal behavior for new approvals.

#### How Deferred Approvals work

When Deferred Approvals mode is enabled:

* any new *Approve* is stored in the database
* no automatic withdrawal is performed
* the system continues to monitor deposits for the approved allowance
* when a deposit is detected, you receive a notification
* the notification includes an inline **Withdrawal** button
* you can manually withdraw the full available balance at your convenience

This gives you full control over **when** and **if** funds are withdrawn.

#### Managing Deferred Approvals per approval

Deferred Approvals can also be managed on a per-approval basis using:

```
/approvals_list
```

With this command, you can:

* enable or disable Deferred mode for specific approvals
* switch between **automatic** and **manual** withdrawal behavior
* fine-tune your approval management strategy
