Define the workflow

We define a workflow by selecting a set of workflow actions and defining related properties.

1. Click Select Workflow Stages to select the workflow stages to comprise this workflow.

2. Click Select Reject Stage to select a stage to move an item to when rejected.

3. To require a comment to be entered when approving an item, select Enter Comment on Approval.

4. Select whether to allow multiple drafts of an item to be created. If not selected, only a single draft of an item can be created at a time. Multiple drafts are enabled by default.

   If the first stage of the workflow includes a publish action, no draft items can be created regardless of what is selected here.

5. Select Disable workflow in projects when we do not want the workflow to be used when an item is added to a project. If selected, any items using this workflow have a status of draft when added to a project, but are not staged.

   1. We must also select the workflow stage the item is returned to when the project is published.

      An item has a status of "published" when the project is published regardless of the workflow stage selected here, even if the selected workflow stage does not use a publish action or if the selected workflow stage precedes or follows a workflow stage containing a publish action.
