Transitions

Approving or rejecting content or updating approved or rejected content can move the page or blog to a different state. These are the transitions.

In the Simple Approval Workflow, in the Review state, the workflow can undergo one of two transitions:

The progress tracker displays the workflow states Review and Approved. The Rejected state is hidden from the progress tracker path.

Move the pointer over the approve and reject buttons to display the destination states for the content review.

In the published (final) Approved state, if the document is edited and saved, the page moves to the draft state Review:

This transition is not implemented through the workflow state dialog box. The workflow automatically transitions when the document content is updated.

Pages or blogs in the Rejected state can be approved, and the page will transition to the Approved state. If the content is edited, the Simple Approval Workflow will transition the page or blog to the Review state:

The content review, whilst in the Rejected state, can also be rejected by a reviewer.

A rejection decision whilst in the Rejected state does not cause a transition in this example workflow. It simply remains in the Rejected state, but the event of rejecting the content is recorded in the workflow history.

View-only users see only the document version that was approved and transitioned to the final state. In the Simple Approval Workflow, this is the Approved state.

Edit and administrator permission users are not restricted and can see the document in any workflow state.
