Efficiency boost with quick actions
When you open a content item for editing, you will see a set of quick actions at the top. All of these actions, plus those you can access via More actions, are there to help you get your job done as quickly as possible.
Send your content to review
Once you’re done with writing a new piece of content, it’s time to get it reviewed. You can do so by changing the workflow step of the item and assigning a contributor, in this case, the reviewer, who will take a look at it.To change the workflow step of an item, click Change workflow step. You’ll see a popup where you can change the workflow step to Review or any other step you need. You can also assign a contributor, set a due date, and add a note.
Delegate work with tasks
When you’ve done your part and are about to send the piece of content to a teammate of yours, maybe you want to tell them there’s something they should do. That’s what tasks are for. Add a task and assign it to your teammate so they know what you need them to do.
