How to create and apply Workflow

Introduction

In Settings, you can configure and customize workflows for your content creation. In Nimvio, we have made it easy for you to configure your project settings so that everybody can use Nimvio without the need to possess deep technical knowledge on website content app. One of the most important features in project settings is workflow settings. Workflow settings allow you to define the process that your content goes through from creation to publication.

With workflow settings, you can set up approval processes, define content editors and publishers, and assign roles and permissions to various users. This ensures that your content is reviewed and approved by the right people before it is published, helping you maintain the quality and consistency across your website or application.
