### Enabling the new approvals interface
Since [GitLab v12.0](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/10685), an updated approvals
interface is available by default. In versions older than 12.0, the updated interface is not
available unless the `approval_rules` feature flag is enabled, which can be done from

# Installation from source
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H bin/rails console -e production
```
Then run `Feature.enable(:approval_rules)` to enable the updated interface.
