When an author creates an article, and the article needs to be reviewd first before publishing it. The article disappears from view if the overview called Posts, in the toolbar on top, is set to " All Posts" .
The article can be seen when the dropdown list is set to " Under Review" .
A minor bug perhaps?

Best regards,
Paul
Hey Paul,

That is actually the correct behavior as that is the workflow in EasyDiscuss. When an author submits the article for review, it doesn't appear on their listings because the author wouldn't be able to "edit" them yet as it is already locked for review by a site admin.

If the post also appears in the "All posts" listing, it could confuse them since they would think it is a bug as they are unable to edit them.

Yes, I see and accept your point. Thank you.

I am in the proces of testing easyarticles, and its workflow.
I just used Editor persona to publish the article-under-review from Author... And now let the Author persona edit the published article.
That works really sweet!
Still the article appears twice now: the old version that remains published, and the new edited version that is under review.
That is really neat: I looked for this for Joomla for years!

But it will need a written explanation for the users imo: first it disapperas, then it is there twice..
How much information for users is needed on this issue in your experience? Can you advise what is the best way to inform users on this?

Best regards,
Paul

Hi Paul,

I'm not really understanding this. If there is a published version and an under review version of a post in EasyArticles, they only appear on their respective filter: http://take.ms/YF7oG

They will not both appear in the same page.
