Approval Status

Overview

When Comala Document Approval is applied to a page or blog post, the Content Byline Item is added to the page/blog heading:

The content byline item includes the current state name (and the current state icon) of the approval workflow added to the page.

The initial approval state when added to the page is the Review state.

You can choose the state name to open the approval popup.

Any user with View or Edit permission can approve or reject the content.

A user with view-only permission can view the approval state byline item but cannot view the approval popup.

If you assign one or more users using the +Add Reviewer option in the workflow popup, only these assignees can approve or reject the content.

Once a reviewer is assigned, the approval decision buttons are disabled for a user not assigned to undertake the approval.

The workflow popup displays different options depending on the current approval state.

In the Approved state, no options to change the approval status are available for the user in the workflow popup.

The Approved status is changed automatically to Review if the page or blog post is edited in the Approved state.

The Rejected state has the option to approve the page.
