You can also click the Also Send to Approval Center toggle icon to send the notification to the Approval Center and add an approval note in the Approval Note (Optional) field.

Concurrency Mode
Concurrency Mode: Controls whether Workflow processes tasks in a single or multi-threaded manner for this task type. Select Sequential to single-thread, or Parallel to allow multi-threaded processing.
If you select Parallel, the Max Concurrency setting controls the maximum number of threads for this task type that can be utilized. You can specify a value from 1 up to the allowed maximum for this task type. A value of 1 behaves the same as Sequential processing.
