version

An approved version of a document is created on each workflow transition to the workflow final state. If the document is now in a draft workflow state, a user can view this previous version using the byline link view "Approved" in a draft state.

The byline link is to the Confluence page version at the time of the last transition to the final state (in the Basic Approval Workflow this is the Approved state).

This last approved version does not have the workflow applied but will display

  • the Approved (Compare versions) breadcrumb

  • a byline link View pending approval to the current document version in a workflow draft state

The breadcrumb on this version indicates that the version is the last approved version created on the transition to the final state. It does not give access to the workflow popup as the workflow is currently in a draft state.

Workflow byline breadcrumbs are only visible to users with view and edit permission for the page.
