How-to guides#
This part of the documentation contains directions toward a result. Each guide assumes you already know what you want and shows you how to get it.
If you are meeting the package for the first time, work through Add a second workflow to a content type instead.
Getting set up#
Add the backend package and the Volto add-on to a project, and install the profile.
Load the worked example and see an additional workflow running end to end.
Populate the new catalog index on a site that already holds content.
Declaring workflows#
Make a behavior contribute workflows to every type that enables it.
Write a workflow definition that composes with the one already in the chain.
Working with the states#
Read a specific workflow's state, and execute a transition belonging to it.
Find content by its state in any workflow, from code and from a collection.
Find permissions claimed by more than one workflow, and resolve the overlap.
Building an interface#
Read the chain, execute a transition, and read the merged history from a REST client.
Restyle the controls, read the chain in a component of your own, and shadow what the add-on ships.
