The documentation of manual approval strategy step as mentioned below has been verified in all the documentation links present in comment#4. Section title: Installing Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage Operator -------- Click Install. If you selected Automatic updates, then the Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) automatically upgrades the running instance of your Operator without human intervention. If you selected Manual updates, then the OLM creates an update request. As a cluster administrator, you must then manually approve that update request to have the Operator updated to the new version. Since changes have been made in all the required documentation , moving this bug to verified state . Thanks Mugdha Soni
