Workflows

All pages and files need to be sent to the workflow to allow University Communications to review the content. University Communications will typically approve the workflow within 24-48 hours.

  • If you are ready to submit your draft to the workflow, please click on the "Submit" button in the top toolbar.

  • A small pop-up box will appear in which you are able to add comments to regarding the page that you have edited. There will be system-generated comments in the box, but feel free to add additional comments. These comments are visible to the Web Team in the event that a page version needs to be rolled back.
