Create a new pageCreate a page using the Confluence "Create" button in the Confluence Menu Header. Note the Page StatusJust under the Title and author information, note the drop-down selection that says "Draft". This is the Content Flow Workflow Status toolbar, it is currently displaying the status of the page. "Draft" means that it is visible only to admins, and those with Edit restrictions on the page. Apply a WorkflowThe first step is to Initiate the Workflow. To do so, click the Workflow Status toolbar and select Approve/Reject. This opens the Workflow viewer. Add ContentAdd page content... View the WorkflowInside the Workflow viewer, note the steps of the workflow. Each step corresponds to a User (or member of a Group) and an action (described by the label) The First step is assigned to the Editor (page creator in the case of an Automatic Workflow) Advance the StepTo advance to the next step, leave a comment (optional) and then click "Approve" This will send a notification to the next user (or group) alerting them that an action is now required. If need be, you may also "Return" a step and send it back to the previous user or group. This will alert them, along with your comment, about why the changes were rejected. Note that at each step, any participant in the workflow may edit the page and then advance the workflow The steps continue in this fashion until the last step is approved. Complete the WorkflowAt this point, the Page is published and thereby visible to all with view access to the space. Once the workflow is complete, the status should read "Published"
