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:
  • 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.
Multiple workflows and restrictions on the first workflow stepRole restrictions on the first workflow step work differently depending on whether you have multiple workflows  enabled in your environment:
  • With multiple workflows enabled: a new content item is always created in the workflow's first step, even if the creating user's role can't work with that step. The item stays inaccessible to that user until someone with the right role moves it forward.
  • Without multiple workflows enabled: a new content item is created in the first step the creating user's role can work with, skipping ahead if needed.
Configuring transitions for a workflow step
