I am new to all of this. Recently i got a user story for document uploading in a library.
The story is " I want to upload a form and when i upload it in the library, the document should be in Draft state.
After that a mail should be sent to my manager and after the manager approves it, the document should be in Publish state."
Note: There can be numerous users uploading their documents in the library.
I believe it is kinda like a customization. I am not allowed to use Visual Studio or SharePoint designer.
Is there any way i can complete this story?
You can use MS Visio using SharePoint Workflow template and then import it.

I have created a demo to capture a photo and upload that into the SharePoint online document library.
I have used Picture Control of PowerApps and the SharePoint document library.
I have taken reference from the below link,
https://www.matthewdevaney.com/power-apps-add-picture-control-and-save-to-sharepoint-library/
I have a few questions regarding uploading captured photos in the SharePoint document library.
Can I upload multiple pictures using PowerApps Picture Control under the SharePoint document library?
Can I create a document set in the SharePoint document library using only PowerApps (without using Power Automate)?
Can I create a folder and upload multiple images under that folder while the user captures multiple pictures and upload them to the SharePoint document library?
Is it possible if an internet connection is not available then save images locally and upload that images in the SharePoint document library while connecting to the internet?
Thanks
I'm using Microsoft SharePoint and MS Planner, I have a plan that's connected to SharePoint website, so everything I post in planner automatically shows in SharePoint.
So whenever I upload an attachment it is uploaded to Sharepoint site/shared document
I want to create a specific folder inside documents and make attachments that I upload in planner go directly there.
is there any way to do that?
Currently this is not supported. You can vote for the suggestion to add this feature though:

All,
I'm new to SharePoint, and I was wondering if there was a way to have a group of users complete a task (perhaps a form that needs answered), and then have that form, or the answers given in that form, be sent to another group of users to look into and follow-up on? Perhaps it could be moved to a specific folder?
Google hasn't turned up much of anything in the way of clear answers.
The mechanism you are mentioning is like a SharePoint Approval workflow or an approval flow.
Just like teylyn said, you can choose SharePoint Designer workflow or Power automate depends on the version of SharePoint you are using.
How to determine the SharePoint version I am using.
And SharePoint has its own built-in approval workflow template for directly use. It is a bit old but easy to configure and ready to be used.
An example for SharePoint designer 2013 platform approval workflow here.
2010 Platform approval workflow
One thing just for your notice, there are two different types of workflows, 2010 platform workflow and 2013 platform workflow. You can create a 2010 platform as long as you installed SharePoint Designer. However it is needed to install and configure workflow manager to use 2013 platform workflow.
Flow tutorial here.
Hope to be any help.
In SharePoint Online, you can use Power Automate to create business logic workflows, using fields in a SharePoint list that store the current status of a task and information like next reviewer, etc. The Power Automate flow can be either triggered by a button in the form (in which case you would want to design the form with PowerApps) or whenever the item in the SharePoint list is modified.
In SharePoint on premises you can create SharePoint Designer workflows to achieve the same thing.
Can I get any suggestion on sending email to a SharePoint group when a site is created on SharePoint Online out of box.
Thank you in advance
According to my experience, there is no OOTB method to achieve this requirement.
There is no site created trigger action in flow and for SharePoint add-in, there is no site-level trigger event.
From SharePoint experts, I would like to know if following is possible in SharePoint 2010:
Can we send an offline form (word/excel format document) to SharePoint server by email so that it goes in document management system and undergoes an approval workflow. This feature could be used by users who have only email access and can't access SharePoint portal.
Yes this is a built in feature in SharePoint 2010. You have to enable it in central administration. It is not a simple tasks however. There is a lot of configuration that needs to happen on the server. The documentation is here.
