Workflows

Define content approval workflows per collection. Entries move through stages like Draft, Review, Approved, and Published.

Enabling Workflows

Workflows are configured per collection:

  1. Go to CMS Admin > Collections > [Your Collection]
  2. Enable Workflow in the collection settings
  3. Define your workflow stages (or use the defaults)
  4. Optionally assign reviewers per stage

Default Workflow Stages

Stage Description
DraftEntry is being written. Only the author can see it.
ReviewEntry is submitted for review. Reviewers are notified.
ApprovedEntry has been approved and is ready to publish.
PublishedEntry is live on the website.

Visual Workflow Builder

The workflow visualizer (CMS Admin > System > Workflow) shows a visual pipeline of all workflow-enabled collections, entry counts per stage, and recent transitions.

Stage Reviewers

You can assign specific users as reviewers for each stage. When an entry reaches that stage, only assigned reviewers can advance or reject it. If no reviewers are configured, any authenticated user with permission can review.

Advancing & Rejecting

From the entry editor, reviewers can Advance an entry to the next stage or Reject it back to the previous stage. Each transition is logged with the user, timestamp, and optional comment.
