CFR Part 11 requires a signing reason to define the meaning of the signature. There are the three default signing reasons available, which are related to the signer role, being the author, a reviewer or an approver. There is no formal definition for the signing reasons and you may change them.
If you are on a Enterprise Pro plan, you are able to configure the CFR Part 11 signing reasons by editing the DocuSign Signing Resource File and use any values that you prefer.

Hello
Welcome to the DocuSign Community and thank you for posting your concerns!
I understand you would like to know the difference between approval signature and review signature.
However, I don’t remember seeing those option in DocuSign directly. Can you be so kind to provide a screenshot?
Are you using an integration of some sort?
Let us know if you need further assistance with this.
Best regards,

Hi Nathaly,
Sure, in Part-11, DocuSign requires the reason for signing. I’m curious what the formal definition of “I approve” vs. “I have reviewed” this document is to DocuSign developers.
