Content Sign-Off Overview

General Overview

Content Sign-Off is an optional, additional phase of the Page Lifecycle that occurs between the Editable Draft and Approval Queue states.

Content Sign-Off allows Signers to be assigned to a Page. When the Page is Submitted, Signers will receive an email notification telling them to review the page.

When all signers Approve Sign-off, the Page will proceed to the Approval Queue for final Approval.

However, if any signers Decline Sign-off, the Page will revert to an Editable Draft.

Content Sign-Off must first be enabled within a site before it can be used at the Page level.

1. Navigate to Administration > Site Management > Site Settings
2. Under Workflow Management, check Enable Content Sign-off
3. At the bottom of the page, click Save.
