Workflow enforces what is called the “four-eyes principle of change management”. Once enabled via the security settings in the admin portal, it guarantees that any content change on an article is approved by at least 1 other team member.
Below is an overview of Workflow features:
Enabling/disabling workflow through the admin portal:
Enabling workflow enforces content reviews across all resources covered by workflow
Two quality assurance tasks to:
Approve content changes made by team members
Review content changes rejected by team members
Introducing the workflow administrator user role:
Can be assigned through the admin portal
Users with this role can change content without it having to be approved
Users with this role are allowed to approve content changes from team members
Full workflow coverage for the article resource:
- Any content change made to an article requires a review by a team member
- The ability to approve, reject, and comment on article content changes through a quality assurance task
