# Approve Proposal

Proposals require approvals equal to the threshold for the underlying transaction to be executed. Any qualifying member key with "Voter" permissions can cast an approval on proposal. Additionally, an approval will fail if the proposal is stale (Proposal `transactionIndex` < Multisig `staleTransactionIndex`).

## Example

```typescript
import * as multisig from "@sqds/multisig";
import { Connection, PublicKey } from "@solana/web3.js"

async function main(member: PublicKey) {
    // Cluster Connection
    const connection = new Connection("<your rpc url>");
    
    // If you've saved your createKey, you can define it as a static PublicKey
    const createKey = new PublicKey("<your createkey>")
    
    // Derive the multisig PDA
    const [multisigPda] = multisig.getMultisigPda({
        createKey,
    });
    // or
    // const multisigPda = new PublicKey("<your multisig key>");
    
    // Get deserialized multisig account info
    const multisigInfo = await multisig.accounts.Multisig.fromAccountAddress(
      connection,
      multisigPda
    );

    // Get the current transaction index
    const transactionIndex = Number(multisigInfo.transactionIndex);
    // or, if this is tied to your first transaction
    // const transactionIndex = 1n;
    
    const ix = await multisig.instructions.proposalApprove({
      multisigPda,
      transactionIndex,
      // Member must have "Voter" permissions
      member: member,
    });
}
```

### Notes

* Approving members must have "Voter" permissions
* A Proposal can not be approved if the transaction index is less than the stale transaction index (see [Multisig reference](/main/development/reference/accounts.md#multisig))

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.squads.so/main/development/typescript/instructions/approve-proposal.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
