The flowchart below explains the lifecycle of an article throughout the publishing journey. Generally, there are three actors in the workflow, the system, a writer, and a reviewer. Depending on your needs you may adjust your workflow as needed, however the system events which automatically change document states cannot be adjusted at this time.
An alternate view of the above flowchart is provided below explaining the to/from state change and what triggers the state change.
Initial State | Changed State | Trigger |
|---|---|---|
Planned | Pending Content | 14d before Planned Date |
Pending Content | Pending Approval | Manual Action |
Pending Approval | Accepted / Rejected | Manual Action |
Pending Approval | (Auto) Accepted | 3d before Planned Date |
Rejected | Pending Approval | Manual Action |
Accepted | Pre-published | 1d before Planned Date |
Pre-published | Published | On Planned Date |
