Approvers bypass approval

Kevin Baker May 3, 2024 edited

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.

Where do i go to effect this change

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.
