Content Workflow API Updates are Here
Khoros' Content Workflow feature in Khoros Communities enables you to create a comprehensive content workflow process including authors, editors, and publishers that each play an important role in crafting, editing, and publishing TKB and blog posts for your community. This includes not only the crafting of new content but also to enable users to nominate, approve, and promote forum messages to TKB articles. With Khoros Communities 21.1, we have introduced these features to Communities API v2. The additions are available during message creation and updates. In this post, we'll uncover a few of the changes to the API, and you can use them to get more out of your Khoros Communities projects.

Approval (Second Step) can_approve - Whether the authenticated user can approve a forum topic's conversion to a knowledge base article. can_reject - Whether the authenticated user can reject the nomination of a forum topic's conversion to a knowledge base article.

Editing/Review (Second Step) can_edit - Whether the user in the current context can edit the post. can_return_to_author - Whether the user in the current context can return the post to the author. can_submit_for_publication - Whether the user in the current context can submit the post for publication.
