Approval workflows
By implementing a release workflow for wiki pages in Redmine, it is possible to check and release content changes in accordance with standards.
Choose between two approval workflows and activate the two-person rule for more control
Approval workflow (1/2)
One-step approval workflow
Before publication, the content undergoes a simple check for approval. The one-step approval workflow is as follows:
If a workflow is enabled every edited or new wiki page is automatically DRAFT
Approval workflow (2/2)
Two-step approval workflow
The two-step approval workflow enables a clear separation of responsibilities between technical and formal approval. The process of the two-stage approval workflow is as follows:
If a workflow is enabled every edited or new wiki page is automatically DRAFT
Two-person rule
If approval is required in accordance with the Two-person rule, this option is available, as well.
If active, it is excluded that the author of a wiki page is also the one releasing the workflow. This additional control mechanism ensures that at least two members of your project are involved in the selected workflow.
Workflow history
Each step is clearly documented in the workflow history of a wiki page, which can be viewed on the new Details page.
Workflow permissions
Competencies and responsibility is controlled via additional role permissions
Permission example
 Author

 Content reviewer

 Formal reviewer

The status change is carried out via the Actions menu of the respective wiki page. Depending on which approval workflow is configured and which workflow permissions the respective user has, the menu items available for selection are listed there.
