Add a state flow transition
To configure Content Hub, you must either be a superuser or have the necessary permissions granted to you through user group policies.
A transition represents the passage from one state to another. The source of the transition is the state where the transition begins and the destination is the state where the transition ends.
You can include a custom confirmation message message for when a content item transitions to another state. In such cases, users must confirm the transition to apply it.
For example, you can add a confirmation message for the transition from Working on it to Under review. When a user submits a content item for approval, this confirmation message acts as a checkpoint for the user to either proceed with the transition or cancel it.
