The Workbox commands

Abstract

Learn to use and configure the Workbox.

Before you publish a content item on your website, commands in the Workbox let you preview, open, or compare different versions of an item, as well as approve or reject the content.

Some commands can be executed on many items at the same time, and only certain commands are shown for all items, while others appear depending on the workflow commands configured for the corresponding workflow state.

In the Workbox, in the Workflows section, you can configure the Workbox to only show specific workflows.

The following table describes the commands for each item in the Workbox:
