Workspace

The workspace lists all checked out pages and reports  their status. There are two workspaces that are automatically created when pages are checked out:

 

  1. My Workspace - page that displays all pages checked out by the logged in user.

  2. Workspace for All Users - The page displays all pages currently checked out by all users for the site. A link to this page only appears for Administrators.

 

When Approvals are active the  workspace consists of two sections:
 

  1. Items checked out

  2. Items pending approval (this section only appears if the content editor is the approval assignee)
     

If Approvals are bypassed then the items pending approval section does not appear on either workspace.

 

Action links will appear and disappear next to each page depending on what stage the page is in. The table below describes the editor actions and lists the links that appear as a result of the action.
