workflow in sitecore
Workflow in Sitecore is a process of managing the lifecycle of content within a website. It defines a series of steps and actions that must be taken before the content can be published to the live website. Workflow allows the management of content approval and revision processes, which helps ensure the quality and accuracy of the content before it is made available to the public. Workflows in Sitecore can be customized to meet specific business requirements, and they can be configured to include different steps such as editing, review, approval, and publication.
Here is an example of creating a basic workflow in Sitecore:
- Login to the Sitecore Desktop as an administrator.
- Navigate to the "Workflow" section under the "Sitecore" tab in the Content Editor.
- Right-click the "Workflows" node and select "Add new workflow".
- Give the workflow a name, for example, "Content Approval Workflow".
- Select a template for the new workflow. For this example, use the "Standard Workflow" template.
- Click "OK" to create the workflow.
- The newly created workflow will appear in the "Workflows" list. Right-click on the workflow and select "Edit".
- In the Workflow Designer, add new states by right-clicking the workflow and selecting "Add new state". For this example, add three states: "Editing", "Review", and "Approval".
- Connect the states by drawing arrows between them. The first state should be "Editing", followed by "Review" and finally "Approval".
- Right-click on each state and select "Edit". Set the state name, display name, and description.
- Add commands to the workflow by right-clicking on a state and selecting "Add new command". For this example, add the "Request Approval" command to the "Editing" state and the "Approve" and "Reject" commands to the "Approval" state.
- Save the changes to the workflow.
- Assign the workflow to a specific content item or a content folder by right-clicking the item or folder and selecting "Workflow" from the context menu.
- Select the "Content Approval Workflow" from the list of available workflows and set it as the default workflow.
That's it! Now the content authors can use this workflow to manage the lifecycle of their content.
