Component body

Workbench Reviewer is a module to allow for content editors to assign individual pieces of content to other users for review. It extends from the Workbench and Workbench Moderation modules. Using additional modules like Workbench Moderation or Workbench Email allows for custom workflows to be implemented.

A new "Workflow" section is added to the right-hand set of tools when editing nodes. This module provides an entity reference field where a user may be tagged as a reviewer.

Additionally, a new "Assigned to Me" view is created for Workbench. This view allows editors to see which pieces of content are assigned for them to review.

How to Setup

By default, Workbench Reviewer adds the reviewer field to any content type that has moderation through Workbench Moderation enabled. If moderation is not enabled, Workbench Reviewer is not used.

How to Use

To use Workbench Reviewer, just create a node like you would normally do. Assigning the node to someone to review is optional. When you mark someone else as the reviewer in the "Assign to for review" field, the node will appear in their list of items to review through the "Assigned to Me" tab in Workbench.

Example Implementation

Using transitions created with the Workbench Moderation module and automated emails set up via the Workbench Email module, content editors can assign content to administrators for review. During this state transition, automated emails will be sent. Administrators and editors can view content ready for their review using the Assigned to Me view this module provides.
