    Note: If a publisher or admin creates are resource, then he/she is considered as an author and the workflow is followed of an author ().

When a resource is created, it is initially in this state. At this time only the person who has created it can view.

If a resource in the community is changed to 'Visible' state, then the resource can be viewed and edited by all members of that community.

The community member should change the state of the resource to this state only when it is finalized from their end. This state means that the resource is ready to be published and you are asking the publishers to the community to review it. At this stage, the creator or authors cannot edit it. The publishers/admins of the community can
  • edit
  • publish by changing the state to Publish
  • reject by changing the state to Visible

In this state the resource is published and is visible to anonymous and authenticated users of the system as well. Once it is published then the resource cannot be edited by anyone.
