Resolution states

Box currently supports two types of tasks defined by the action value: review tasks and complete tasks.

The type of task determines the possible resolution states a task can be in and the interface shown to a user in the web and mobile apps.

Task action	Possible resolution states
review	incomplete, approved, rejected
complete	incomplete, complete

A review task starts out in an incomplete state and can be marked as incomplete, approved, or rejected. In the user interface a user is provided with a text box and an pair of buttons to approve or reject the task.

A complete task starts out in an incomplete state and can be marked incomplete or completed. Once a this task is marked completed, no further changes can be made to the task’s state. In the user interface a user is provided with a text box and an button to mark the task as completed.
