The core content moderation and workflow modules can help support a flexible publication process. By defining a variety of states for content (Unpublished, Draft, Pending Review, Published, etc.) and managing the permissions around those state transitions site administrators can build up a workflow to support all but the most complicated of publishing processes.
Example tasks
- Create additional publication states for your content (e.g., Draft)
- Configure a more complex content publication Workflow (compared to Published vs Unpublished)
Confidence
Drupal's Content Moderation and Workflows modules are stable and in core. There is a suite of contributed modules that provided additional functionality. All are actively being developed.
