Classic vs YAML Pipelines in Azure Devops and Approvals/Gates

Hi

We are using classic pipelines currently for Release through Azure Devops.

There are inputs to move this to multi stage YAML as it will be easier to manager a standard template and track changes better.

As per our analysis, most of the features of classic pipelines are supported in YAML.

But, there is no clear cut information for "Approval and Gates".

Referring to this article it talks about gates but seems more from context of Releases that are supported in classic not yaml

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/release/approvals/?view=azure-devops


We need confirmation or clarity on points below -
- post approvals can not be supported in YAML as interface
- In environment we can add checks but to what extent can they be used in same way as gates we are not sure
- can we set revaluation, time outs etc in same way as gates. If yes, then how
- Service now integration does it work same way in YAML or any caveats
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/release/approvals/servicenow?view=azure-devops


If someone can help clarify our doubts it will help

Thanks in advance.
