Approvers bypass approval

Kevin Baker May 3, 2024

Is there a way with Confluence Data Center version (Non Cloud) in a workflow to set it so approvers or reviwers by pass a workflow approval stage.


Case: Document approval flow on a document page. 2 x stages, when editted by someone it goes to review, then is approved and goes to approval. Once approved its published.

Looking to make it that if User 1 and User 2 can review and approve, if they make a change it goes straight to published. They skip the steps. Is this possible. I cannot see anything obvious in the UI and small search in documentation. Unless i am missing it.

I am using Comala Documentation add-in.

Thanks

So managed to get this to bypass the approvers into published with a trigger

 

{trigger:statechanged|state=For Review|user=@DocumentApprover@}
{set-state:Published}
{trigger}
{trigger:statechanged|state=Requires Approval|user=@DocumentApprover@}
{set-state:Published}
{trigger}

 

Just need to play around with it to refine some issues.

You add this in the workflow builder in the markup editor. This defines the states and if someone in the @DocumentApprover@ group makes that change it goes live.
