Working with manual approvals for multiple builds in AWS CodePipeline

Question

We have a CodePipeline set up to do a build, deploy to a QA ECS environment, then a manual approval step to deploy to Prod.

In the CodePipeline UI, you can see the history of Manual approvals in your pipelines' History. Click on History to see what's in progress (Manual Approvals that haven't timed out will always be in progress) and the source (git) short-sha that triggered it (if you need to narrow down to the relevant commit).

To know which Manual approval you're approving, in Pipeline view, click on View current revisions next to the Manual step (to get the Execution ID), then find the matching Execution ID in History (should be the oldest one).

Only way I found to get to the latest Approval is to hit reject n-1 times in the pipeline (where n is how many manual approvals are still in progress) until I only have 1 approval left (or until I find matching Execution ID).
