# Content review

In Sitecore Content Hub, content moves through an approved workflow from the point of creation until the content is archived at the end of the content life cycle. A content item begins in the **Ideation flow** (as shown on the first tab) or in the **CMP flow** (as shown on the second tab). In the **Ideation flow**, there is a review in the **Pending approval** state. In the **CMP flow**, the **Review** state occurs, by default, in the middle of the flow and, when you click **Send for review**, the state of the content item changes to **In Review**.

When you add a new idea to Sitecore Content Hub, it begins in the **Ideation** flow in the **New** state before moving to the **CMP flow**. When submitted, it moves to the **Pending approval** state where the content administrator can review it and approve or reject it. After it is approved, the content item moves into the CMP flow and is tagged as **To do**. At this point, the creation process starts.

:::tab{title="CMP"}

When you add a content item to Sitecore Content Hub, it begins in the **To do** state. Once you click **Start**, it moves to the **In progress** state where content is worked on until ready for review. Content is then sent for review and the content item is tagged as **In Review**. At this point, the content is validated before being ready to publish.

## In Review

By default, a content item moves to the **In Review** state from the **In progress** state when you click **Send for review**. At this stage, the editors verify the content and approve or reject it.

Once approved, the content is ready to publish.
