To use the Workbench Moderation module:

  1. Install and enable the module.
  2. Enable moderation on a content type by visiting its configuration page (Admin > Structure > Content Types > [edit Article] in Drupal 7).
  3. In the tab block at the bottom of the form, select the "Publishing options" tab. In this tab under "Default Options", Workbench Moderation has added a checkbox, "Enable moderation of revisions". To enable moderation on this node type, check the boxes labeled "create new revision" (required) and "enable moderation of revisions", and then save the node type.

Requirements

Workbench Moderation may be used independently of other modules in the Workbench suite, including the Workbench module. Unlike the Workbench module, Workbench Moderation does not depend on Views. However, Workbench Moderation does have Views integration, and it provides two useful views ("My Drafts" and "Needs Review") that appear in the Workbench. If you wish to use Workbench Moderation without Workbench, you may override or clone these views and place them where your users can find them.

Suggested module

If you use Pathauto on a site with Workbench Moderation you should also include Pathauto Persist to prevent Pathauto from discarding custom paths when nodes get moderated.
