How could I remove my approval from a pull request on github?

I approved a pull request of a random repository I do not have write access too. How can I remove or delete that approval?

Dismiss review

You can "Dismiss review" in the bottom section of the PR.

  1. expand approval(s)
  2. click three dots
  3. choose Dismiss review

(not present in the timeline - little bit confusing)

3 steps to dismiss review

then it looks like (in the timeline)

You can also re-request your own review (the refresh symbol next to your green tick)

For quick resolution,I suggest to Dismiss the review by stating the reason.

Note: It will be recorded in the history of events of the PR that you had approved & dismissed earlier.

You might need to contact the repository owner.

From "Is there a way to make Github un-approve a pull request if a new commit is pushed to the branch?", there is an option that would dismiss stale pull request approval when new commits are pushed.

But that is for the owner to activate.

Another option (still for the owner of the repository)

Dismissing a pull request review
