Update the Workflow Status of an Item in Content Workflow

To manage your content from planning to publication, update the workflow status for each item as you go. This helps track progress at every stage. Keeping the workflow status current lets you see which phase each piece of content is in, whether it's brainstorming, drafting and editing, or ready for final review and publication.

From the Item Editor

  1. Navigate to the item you want to update.
  2. Click the name of the current workflow status at the top of the page.[CW] Workflow dropdown.png
  3. Select the status to which you want to move the item and click [CW] Set status.png.[CW] Workflow Set Status.png
  4. Done! The item has now moved to your chosen workflow status.

You also have the opportunity to add a note when changing the workflow status. This note will appear in the notification email that is sent.

Tip: Only those assigned to the item or @mentioned in a note will be notified of the status change.
