If you choose to add and apply the Basic Approval workflow, a document can be in one of the following three states
Review - the page is awaiting review
Approved - the page has been approved
Rejected - the page is rejected
Each time the document is edited in the Approved or Rejected state the workflow is reset back to the Review state (the updated transition).
Review state
The Review state has a content review.
Approved state
The Approved state is defined as the final (or published) state in the workflow.
The final state can be used with the Comala Publishing for Cloud app to publish and sync page content to another space in the same cloud site.
Rejected state
The Rejected state also has a content review
Adding assignees to an approval
You can assign people to review a document, together with a note.
If you assign multiple people to review a document each person will need to give their approval before the document becomes approved.
Navigating between versions
When an approved document has been edited, it transitions to the Review state.
At this moment, there are two versions or views of the same document
the previously approved version of the document
the document in the state Approved
and the document with the latest modification
the document in the Review state
If we are in the Review state, we can always navigate to the previously approved document version, using the View approved link.
In the Approved state, we can always navigate to the current content that is awaiting review using the View pending approval link.
The Approved (Compare versions) link displays details of the current version of the content.
