For example:

• ?wcmAuthoringAction=approve&docid=ID1

• ?wcmAuthoringAction=approve&docid=ID1&docid=ID2

decline

This is used to decline an item in a workflow. You must also specify the "docid" of the item.

For example:

When creating a new content item, we can specify a default authoring template by adding the "atid"of an authoring template:

• ?wcmAuthoringAction=new&type=com.ibm.workplace.wcm.api.WCM_Content?atid=ID

When creating site areas, content items and categories, we can add the "pid" of the parent you would like to save the new item under:

• ?wcmAuthoringAction=new&type=com.ibm.workplace.wcm.api.WCM_Content?pid=ID

• ?wcmAuthoringAction=new&type=com.ibm.workplace.wcm.api.WCM_SiteArea?pid=ID

• ?wcmAuthoringAction=new&type=com.ibm.workplace.wcm.api.WCM_Category?pid=ID
