Aurora: Enable Content Workflow for Knowledge Bases and Blogs (admin)
The content workflow process enables you to create high-quality and engaging content quickly and seamlessly. Granular control over author, editor, and publisher permissions enables you to prescribe who can perform each task in the publishing workflow.
Each KB article or blog post moves through different publishing states and is assigned to members with specific roles. This way, members know what state an article is in, when it’s their turn to work on it, and what they must do to move the article to the next step in the publishing workflow.
