  • When the page is ready, the content is submitted for approval in the Ready state by a user defined using Reviewers

  • Content is not published until the Editor-in-Chief gives approval in a second approval state, Reviewed

  • Reviewers and Editor-in-Chief are workflow parameters (value references). Their values are defined in the space admin workflow configuration

This workflow includes workflow parameters. When applying a space workflow

  • a parameter reference value may only be available for use by the workflow after a workflow process, such as a transition, occurs. For example, the initial state should not include the use of the parameter reference value for a due date or pre-assigned reviewers for approvals to avoid blocking your workflow. Alternatively, you can choose to Initialize states when applying a space workflow

  • the parameter value is retrieved from the space parameters dashboard on first application of a workflow to a page or blog post. This value may be different to the value used in the workflow template
