ButterCMS Content Review for Workflows

Content review steps:

3. Once the updates have been made to your blog post, page, or collection item, you can either:

  • Save it as a draft and assign the workflow review to the next person.
  • Schedule your content to be published.
  • Publish the blog post, page, or collection item to complete the review.

Note: A red notification shows up on the 'Home' button if there is still content that needs your review:

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. How do I reassign a review to another person?

We currently do not support reassigning reviews to a different person. What you can do for now is publish the blog post or page to remove the workflow review. Then, unpublish the blog post or page and create a new approval workflow.

2. How can I change the date associated with the review?

This is currently not supported. A due date once set, cannot be changed.
