This initial approval workflow state is, by default, the Image ModifiedReview state.

Any content that is in the Image ModifiedRejected state will also be considered as a draft version.

Only the Image RemovedApproved state  can be seen by users with View-only permissions for the page.

Content in the Image AddedApproved state is considered as the approved content version. If the content is updated when in the Image AddedApproved state, the approval workflow transitions to the draft Image AddedReview state.

(blue star) These links to the draft/approved content are displayed in the content byline when there is both a draft version and an approved version available, However the content will be in one of the draft workflow approval states. The Image AddedApproved breadcrumb displayed on the approved version does not provide access to the approval workflow popup. 

Approved content

Only the latest approved content can be seen by users with View-only permission for the page. The workflow content byline is not displayed.

...

This version will be displayed to a user with View-only permission irrespective of the current approval workflow state for the content.

If the content is currently in the Image AddedApproved state, a user with edit or admin permission will see the workflow content byline and be able to access the approval workflow popup.
