Info

These workflows cannot be overwritten. A copy can be created and customized.

Custom workflows

A workflow customized to your documentation management needs can be created in a space. The quickest way is to use the Create New Workflow option in the document management dashboard in a space.

...

Using Create New Workflow lets you edit a basic two-state starter workflow using the workflow builder visual editor.

...

You can use the workflow builder visual editor to add one or more additional states, add and edit transitions from one state to another, and add approvals.

...

Saving the new workflow adds the workflow to the space document management dashboard. You can make it active in the space applying it to all the pages.

...

Info

A custom workflow can also be created by making a duplicate of an existing workflow in the dashboard and editing the copy.

Onboarding workflows (custom workflows)

The app offers several custom workflows to explore. Each workflow can be added to a space and applied using the Onboarding screen.

Once added to a space, the workflow can be edited in that space.

Access to the Onboarding workflows is gradually being rolled out to customer Confluence sites. By the end of October 2024, they will be available to all customers.
