Overview
With same-space publishing, each document (page or blog post) can have concurrent draft and approved versions.
A single state in your workflow must be set as a final state.
Workflow with a final state
A workflow with a final state differentiates between content in a draft state, content in the final state, and the final state version.
If the content is in one of the other workflow states, the workflow will see this as a draft state.
There is no difference in view or edit permissions for documents in a workflow draft or final state.
User permissions to the page are managed by using the page level permissions.
The workflow can be configured in the space document management dashboard to automatically remove any page-level permissions on a workflow transition to the final state.
Workflow final state and published version
A final state will be, by default, displayed on the page subtitle with a green state indicator circle (or green lozenge in workflow builder visual editor)
The transition to the final state sets the workflow final state version. When the content is in any other state in the workflow the content is draft content.
The View approved breadcrumb link to the Confluence version created on transition to this final state is displayed on the page sub-title when the page or blog post is transitioned to another state in the workflow.
The transition to a final state can also be used to publish a page to another space using the Comala Publishing app
