Overview

The Basic approval workflow is a simple three-state template included with the app that ensures a clear approval process for your Confluence documents.

States and Transitions

Workflow states indicate the status of the document. When the workflow is applied to a page or blog post, it can be in one of the following three states:

  • Review – The document starts in this state and awaits rejection/approval.

  • Rejected – If the document is not approved, it moves to the Rejected state.

  • Approved – The document is approved and ready for publishing.

Transitions are the actions that will move the document between different states.

For example,

  • Once you submit the page for review, the document is moved to the Review state.

  • Once the assignee/reviewer approves, the document moves from Review to Approved state.

  • The page automatically moves from Review to Rejected state when the reviewer rejects the document.

The workflow transitions back to the Review state when a page editor updates a page in either the Approved or Rejected state.
