Umbraco Workflow

Larger sites with multiple editors need a more controlled approach to content management. Umbraco Workflow integrates seamlessly with the Umbraco backoffice to add multi-stage approval processes for content changes, allowing organizations to adopt a distributed publishing model with full confidence the right people are approving content updates prior to publishing.

Along with the workflow mechanism, Umbraco Workflow adds helpful dashboards for your editors, content expiration and reviews, and a fully-featured backoffice application, with detailed analytics, documentation, and configuration options.

The artist formerly known as Plumber

Umbraco Workflow is available for Umbraco 10+, but it has actually been around for quite some time as the popular Plumber package. In August we acquired Plumber to strengthen the Umbraco add-on portfolio with relevant features for existing as well as new clients. By bringing it in-house we can guarantee it is maintained and compatible with the latest versions of the CMS, and we are able to provide support for customers of the product.

While the introduction of Umbraco Workflow is the next step in Plumber’s evolution, it also means we hit a fork in the road. Plumber will continue to exist for Umbraco 8, 9 and 10, but won’t see any new features, and will only receive updates for security issues or significant bugs. 

All future efforts are focused on Umbraco Workflow, and given all the other benefits that come with the latest version of the CMS, we highly recommend upgrading.

As Umbraco 10 is an LTS version, we have made Umbraco Workflow available for this as well, so you can benefit from all the new features and improvements - and it's easy to upgrade from Plumber to Workflow.

Plumber licenses can be ordered here.
