@KellenSk You can have a generated proof and leverage document approvals with that proof. The "approval workflow" is done via the document approval, the two can't be intermixed (well technically you can do both but you don't want to do that as its confusing having approvals using the proof approvals...

This is made possible (today) using the unified approvals (which is the replacement of the legacy document approvals).   It is not for proof approvals, but you can use unified approvals on your proofs as the approval engine - and achieve similar results.
