Configure workflows in Kontent.ai
When you have your diagram with workflow design ready, you can configure the workflows in Kontent.ai
.
.You can make your workflows as simple or as complex as your content creation process requires:
Multiple workflows and restrictions on the first workflow stepIf you have multiple workflows enabled in your project, role restrictions on the first workflow step work a bit differently.
When a user creates a content item in a workflow where they can't work with the first step, the item gets created in the first step anyway but the user can't work with the item because of their role permissions.
In case you don't have multiple workflows enabled, users whose role can't work with the first workflow step create content items in the first step they can work with.
Head over to our workflow documentation for a step-by-step tutorial on setting up workflows.
Once your workflows are set up, the people on your team know exactly how they fit into the process.
- You can define workflow transitions for each step so your content creators have clear steps to follow. For example, Draft > Review > Approved > Published.
- For each step, you can specify which roles can work with it. For example, only Reviewers can move content from Review to Approved.
