The documents provided by an author must be examined and released first by a specialized division, a legal department or a central editorship technically. Only after these instances approved the content it can be released by a content responsible person and be published. Thereby you create a legal security for sensitive or global sides. Naturally an automatic notice by e-mail and logging of all steps take place also at the technical approval workflow. This optional attitude can be configured for the entire CMS or only subranges.
