Understand the platform, then build one approval flow

Prerequisites
A work or school account and access to a Power Platform environment where you can create a cloud flow.
Estimated time
About 60 minutes: 15 minutes for orientation and 45 minutes for the guided lab.
Concrete outcome
A working automated approval process and a clearer choice of what to learn or build next.
