The actions of approving the content, rejecting the content, or updating approved or rejected content moves the page or blog to a different state. These are the transitions.

## **Review** state

In the **Review** state the content can undergo one of two transitions: **Approve** or **Reject.**

The options displayed in the approval popup are the content review decisions. Rejecting or approving the content causes the approval workflow to transition.

## **Approved** state

In the published **Approved** state, if the content is edited and saved, the page approval state transitions to the draft state **Review.**

There are no options to transition the approval workflow in the approval popup. The approval workflow simply implements a transition when the content is updated.

> ℹ️ The transition from the **Approved** state only occurs if the content is edited and published. It does not occur if a label or attachment is added or removed.

## **Rejected** state

Pages or blogs in the **Rejected** can be approved, and the page transitions to the **Approved** state. If the content is edited, the approval workflow transitions the page or blog to the **Review** state.

The content review whilst in the **Rejected** state can only be approved by a reviewer.

> 📝 No transition occurs if the user rejects the content as part of the content review in this approval state - but this rejected decision is recorded as part of the document activity for the page or blog post.

If content is edited and published whilst in the **Rejected** state the approval workflow transitions the content to the **Review** state.

> ℹ️ Adding or removing a label or attachment to the content does not cause a transition.
