Once a page is assigned to a workflow, a banner will appear below the edit toolbar when a page is open, and...
...information in the Workflow column of the My Sites List display will appear to indicate that the page is part of a publishing workflow and any changes are not yet live.
Moving an item through the workflow
When a page is ready to publish site publishers and web admins will receive notification when a workflow is pending for review and approval. In the upper-right of the screen, a notification will appear as a badge on the notification icon in the eyebrow menu.
Clicking the notification icon shows you the page(s) for review.
Click on a page to review it, or click on “View all” in the notifications menu. All items in the queue for publishing will appear.
Select the item(s) for publishing and click the View Payload button to see the changed or newly created page.
After reviewing and/or additionally updating the page content, you can either click Step Back to revert the document to a previously published version, or click Complete to send the document to the publishing queue from the options below the edit interface toolbar for the page.
