Workbench Moderation enables content creators and editors to manage the workflow for publishing content. Content can be assigned different "states" such as "Draft" or "Needs Review" as well as "Published." Only content that has a state of "Published" will be visible to all website visitors. This provides a way that the editorial staff responsible for managing content on a website can collaborate on content creation and editing before that content becomes visible to the general public.Workbench Moderation 使内容创建者和编辑者能够管理发布内容的工作流。可以为内容分配不同的“状态”，例如“草稿”或“需要审核”以及“已发布”。只有状态为“已发布”的内容才会对所有网站访问者可见。这提供了一种方式，即负责管理网站上内容的编辑人员可以在内容对公众可见之前协作创建和编辑内容。
Workbench Moderation also defines "transitions," and permissions can be set that specify which transitions can be performed by each Drupal user role. A "transition" is the act of changing the state of a piece of content. For example, a site can have transitions such as the following:Workbench Moderation 还定义了“转换”，并且可以设置权限来指定每个 Drupal 用户角色可以执行哪些转换。“过渡”是改变一段内容状态的行为。例如，网站可以具有如下所示的过渡：
- Draft => Needs Review 草案 => 需要审查
- Needs Review => Published 需求审查 => 已发布
- Published => Draft 已发布 => 草稿
Workbench Moderation can be configured so that content contributors only have permission to perform transition #1 ("Draft => Needs Review), while editors can perform any of the three transitions. This means that content contributors can create new drafts of web pages, and once a draft is ready for review by an editor, they can change its state to "Needs Review." However, only editors can change the state from "Needs Review" to "Published," so they have control over whether and when the page is actually published.可以配置 Workbench Moderation，以便内容参与者仅有权执行过渡 #1（“草稿 =>需要审核”），而编辑者可以执行三个过渡中的任何一个。这意味着内容贡献者可以创建新的网页草稿，一旦草稿准备好供编辑审阅，他们就可以将其状态更改为“需要审阅”。但是，只有编辑者才能将状态从“需要审核”更改为“已发布”，因此他们可以控制页面是否实际发布以及何时发布。
Workbench Moderation also provides a workflow for managing revisions of content that has already been published. An editor who has permission to perform transition #3 can create a new draft of a web page by using the "Published => Draft" transition. When a new draft is created, the existing published version (also called a "revision") of that page remains published and visible to the general public. Content contributors and editors will be able to see both the published and draft revisions of that page. After the draft revision has been reviewed, the content editor can change its state to "published," at which point the new revision replaces the old revision as the version which is seen by the general public.Workbench Moderation 还提供了一个工作流，用于管理已发布内容的修订。有权执行过渡 #3 的编辑者可以使用“已发布 => 草稿”过渡创建网页的新草稿。创建新草稿时，该页面的现有已发布版本（也称为“修订版”）将保持发布状态，并对公众可见。内容贡献者和编辑者将能够看到该页面的已发布和修订草稿。在修订草案经过审查后，内容编辑者可以将其状态更改为“已发布”，此时新修订版将取代旧修订版，成为公众看到的版本。
