If you have been designated as an approver in a workflow, you will receive an email requesting your approval when the workflow has moved to your step. You can also see all workflows awaiting your action in the "Workflow Inbox" found on the Home Screen. Both the email and the Inbox will contain a link that brings you directly to the record that required your review. Click on the link and then use the following steps to approve the record.
