WorkflowLink to this section
Workflow messages are attached to submitting pages to other users for approval. Once a page is submitted, that starts the workflow item. Any subsequent actions to the page and messages are part of that item.
The workflow screen lists all workflow items you're involved in. Clicking the file path takes you to that page. The status column shows what state the workflow is currently in:
- Pending Approval : The file is submitted to another user.
- Pending Your Approval : The file is submitted to you.
- Published : The file has been published and checked back into the system.
- Declined : The file has been returned to the original user who submitted it.
- Canceled : The file was forcibly checked in by an admin, ending the workflow.
To see all messages sent during the workflow, click the More Actions menu for a workflow item and click View. You can also message one or all participants in the workflow without changing the status of the item.
Sending a message to only one participant sets it as private, and the message cannot be viewed by anyone apart from the sender and the recipient.
Items with a status of published, declined, or canceled are considered resolved, and can be archived. Click More Actions > Archive. Multiple items can also be archived by selecting the item checkboxes and clicking Archive in the list header. If you select multiple items but at least one is still active, then they can't be collectively archived.
Items are archived on a per-user basis. If you archive an item, other users in the workflow still see it in their workflow. Once every user associated with a workflow item has archived it, it is later deleted from the database. Archived items cannot be restored.

The Sent folder shows all messages that you sent to other users, or were sent as system messages based off of an action you performed (such as a scheduled publish or expiration).
