Workflow Participants
- Brief description:
- Have you ever wanted to assign moderated content to specific users to edit or approve it before publishing? There’s a module for that!
- Brief history
- How old: created in Feb 2017
- Versions available: 8.x-2.6 (D8 & D9), 3.0.0-alpha1 (D9 & D10)
- Maintainership
- Seeking a new maintainer
- Number of open issues:
- 17 open, 3 of which are bugs
- Does have test coverage
- Usage stats:
- 9 sites
- Maintainer(s):
- Jheadstrom, who maintains his own stable of modules, including a number in the Message stack
- Module features and usage
- Creates a new tab on nodes, on which a content creator (or anyone with the necessary permission) can assign one or more editors or reviewers
- Can specifically designate which roles can be editors or reviewers
- Editors have the ability to make changes and transition content between states, while reviewers can only move between states
- For each transition in your workflow, can specify if editors and/or approvers are able to perform the transition
- Can optionally send a notification email to workflow participants as they are added to a piece of content
- I used to have a boss who liked to say “The surest way to starve a dog is to put two people in charge of feeding it”, so the idea of specifically assigning individuals to individual pieces of content is potentially very powerful
