Lightning Workflow
==================

[](#lightning-workflow)

Lightning Workflow includes tools for building organization-specific content workflows using the Workflows and Content Moderation modules in Drupal 8 core. Out of the box, it gives you the ability to manage content in one of four workflow states (draft, needs review, published, and archived). You can create as many additional states as you like and define transitions between them. It's also possible to schedule content to be transitioned between states at a specific future date and time.

### Components

[](#components)

Lightning Workflow's components are not enabled by default. You can install them like any other Drupal modules.

#### Lightning Scheduler (`lightning_scheduler`)

[](#lightning-scheduler-lightning_scheduler)

Provides the ability to schedule workflow state transitions to take place automatically at a future date and time.

### Installation

[](#installation)

This component can only be installed using Composer. To add it to your Drupal code base:

```
composer config repositories.drupal composer https://packages.drupal.org/8
composer require drupal/lightning_workflow

```

#### Updates

[](#updates)

Lightning Workflow and its components use the normal Drupal database update system as often as possible. However, there are occasionally certain updates which touch configuration and may change the functionality of your site. These updates are optional, and are performed by a special utility at the command line. This utility is compatible with both [Drupal Console](https://github.com/hechoendrupal/drupal-console) and [Drush](https://drush.org) 9 or later.

To run updates using Drush 9:

`drush update:lightning`

With Drupal Console:

`drupal update:lightning`
