The Workflows and Content Moderation modules allow an editorial team to put any type of content administered in Drupal through a customized editorial workflow and moderation process. Workflow states, such as draft, ready for review, or approved are defined using the Workflows module. The ability to attach moderation states to entity bundles -- a common example being content types -- is configurable by the Content Moderation module.
Both modules have stable releases and are perfectly safe to use in production.
In this tutorial we'll:
- Learn about the use case for Workflows and Content Moderation modules
- Define the role that each module performs
- Define some common terms you'll need to understand when working with these two modules
By the end of this tutorial you will have a good understanding of what the Workflows and Content Moderation modules are, what different functionality they provide, and the permissions made available by the modules.
