Multi Level Review Workflow : Autor can edit after Editor validatiion

  • Hello,
    I am currently testing your plugin in free version. I tested one of your default workflow: “Multi Level Review Workflow”.
    I realized that an author could for example modify an article after the validation of an editor (1st level of validation). This means that when the article will be validated and published by the administrator (2nd level of validation) the article could be completely different from the one the editor validated.

    Is this in your opinion a normal behavior?
    Did I miss a configuration?

    Does this problem also occur in your paid versions of the plugin?

    Thank you in advance for your answer

    Hi @acatus,

    You did not miss any configuration. Long time back we implemented “pre_get_posts” to filter out the posts and only show the ones that the user has access to.

    This way, we were able to hide the posts the author shouldn’t be editing. However, the implementation had performance issues and as a result we removed it.

    As an alternative, we implemented a notification/alert in the Pro version. If a user edits a post and is not part of the current tasks, an alert is sent out to the users who subscribed to this given alert. This way, you know that an article was updated outside the regular workflow by someone who shouldn’t be editing it.

    This has worked well and our customers like it, since this doesn’t hinder the performance and at the same time allows them to keep a track of any unauthorized edits.

    Hope this helps.
