Martin Anderson-Clutz - @mandclu Workflow Participants

• Brief description:
  • Have you ever wanted to assign moderated content to specific users to edit or approve it before publishing? There's a module for that!
• Brief history
  • How old: created in Feb 2017
  • Versions available: 8.x-2.6 (D8 & D9), 3.0.0-alpha1 (D9 & D10)
• Maintainership
  • Seeking a new maintainer
• Number of open issues:
  • 17 open, 3 of which are bugs
• Does have test coverage
• Usage stats:
  • 9 sites
• Maintainer(s):
  • Jheadstrom, who maintains his own stable of modules, including a number in the Message stack
• Module features and usage
  • Creates a new tab on nodes, on which a content creator (or anyone with the necessary permission) can assign one or more editors or reviewers
  • Can specifically designate which roles can be editors or reviewers
  • Editors have the ability to make changes and transition content between states, while reviewers can only move between states
  • For each transition in your workflow, can specify if editors and/or approvers are able to perform the transition
  • Can optionally send a notification email to workflow participants as they are added to a piece of content
  • I used to have a boss who liked to say "The surest way to starve a dog is to put two people in charge of feeding it", so the idea of specifically assigning individuals to individual pieces of content is potentially very powerful
