Monitoring Approvals

Wondering where your update request is in the approval process? Learn how to monitor approvals in workflow below.

How to monitor the workflow process

  1. Navigate to the workflow dashboard

    Select "Content" at the top of the left nav site tree. This is a different link than the content link in the header. Next, select the Workflow tab at the top of the screen that opens.

    Screenshot of the Workflow dashboard under Content. Content is circled in the top left, above the node menu. The workflow tab is the second tab on the body of the page and is circled. An example page in workflow is shown.

  2. View workflow details

    Click the "Detail" button on your desired workflow item. You'll be able to view your request status, as well as any comments from OC on the workflow details screen.

    You may also cancel your publish request from this screen. Doing so will not delete your pending changes in the CMS.
