Our out-of-the-box setup allows editors to submit changes to text pages, courses, degrees, and personnel pages to an approver for review and publication. Below is an outline of the basic roles, restrictions, and stages of our default user workflow setup.
Overview of Workflow Process:
- Catalog Editors will edit a page and save as Ready for Review
- Catalog Admins will receive an email notification for the page submitted as Ready for Review with a link to the Inline Revisions to review changes.
- The Catalog Admin will review the page and submit the page as one of the following:
- Revisions Needed: this will send an email notification to the initial submitter indicating changes are needed.
- Published: this will publish changes to the content and the changes will be visible to the public.
