Edit states using workflow builder

Overview

A workflow state is a milestone in your workflow process.

States are used to manage each step in your workflow process. Your editors manage the documentation and progress through these milestones using the workflow popup and tasks popup accessed through the state name breadcrumb and tasks breadcrumb on the page or blog post when a workflow is applied.

A state can be added, removed, and edited in a workflow using workflow builder.

A state includes

  • state name

  • state color

  • state description

Transitions from the state and approvals can be added to each state and are edited in the state. Tasks can also be set to be added to the workflow on the transition to the state.

The state can be added/edited with several state attributes, for example

  • a due date for the expiry of the content

  • set as the workflow final state

  • set as a taskable state to allow a user to manually add a task

The tasks breadcrumb is only displayed on the page when a task has been added either by the workflow, or manually by a user.

States in the workflow

The states in a workflow are listed in the workflow panel in workflow builder.
