# Workflow in practice

On a basic level:

1. Content Authors create drafts&#x20;
2. Content Approvers review, request changes if needed, and publish.

### Changing the content moderation state

You can easily change the moderation state of any content by editing the page. To see the states available for a piece of content (and for your given role) simply edit the content and scroll to the bottom.

The workflow **states** available will depend on:

* The current content state
* The transitions you’re permitted to use within your official content role

If you're viewing a piece of content that has an **active draft version** already saved, you'll be presented with a slightly different **Edit toolbar** when viewing the page.

If you see the **Latest version** tab, it means there's an active **Draft** that has not yet been published.&#x20;

If you select the **Latest version** tab, you'll see that revision in the frontend, the same as a member of the public can view it once it's published. This is a handy way to ensure that any changes made to the page will be displayed correctly.

In addition, there's also a **Quick moderation** form located at the top of the page.

Using this form you can easily publish (or send back to **Draft**) any content with a simple (optional) inline revision log message.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://salsa-digital.gitbook.io/govcms-content-administration/workflows/workflow-in-practice.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
