Maker-checker means the person who initiates an action (the maker) is different from the person who approves it (the checker). SyncOffice enforces this on sensitive actions, giving you built-in segregation of duties and a clear approval trail.
Yes. Each user has My Requests and Team Requests views with Requested, Approved, Rejected and Cancelled states, so the status of any document is always visible.
