KB User's Guide - Documents Tab - Status

This document discusses how each document status is defined.
  • In Progress: A document in this status is actively being edited. It may be a new document that has never been published or a previously published document that requires edits.

  • In Review: A document in this status indicates edits are complete and are ready to be reviewed and/or published. Use this status to have new documents activated, to have updated documents activated, or after adding notes to indicate action is necessary.

  • Active: A document in this status have been properly reviewed and revised. Once a document is Active, it is published and available on the live, KB site

  • Inactive: A document in this status has become obsolete or expired. It can still be accessed in the KB Admin Tools, and you can think of inactive documents as being archived.

  • Deleted: This is an optional status that can be used to move documents to the "trash" in the KB Admin Tools. This status should primarily be used for documents that were created for testing purposes, docs that are duplicates, or those that were never completed for publishing. Deleted documents can still be accessed in the KB Admin Tools, though you will also have the option to "purge" the contents entirely. 

Note: KB Groups may use these options differently. For example, groups that give all of their authors "Publish" rights may not use In Review at all.
