Workflow basics : CQ

[askdctm]

Hi All,

I am newbie to CQ. Currently have 5.6.1 instance.

In order to understand basic workflows, tried to explore how OOTB "Publish Example" works.

I double-click the model and I can see the below(as seen in the screenshots)

How do I find out the code corresponding to this.Reason being , I thought this way will get to know the basics of workflows.

Any thoughts/pointers will be helpful.

The best way to understand workflows is to go through the AEM topics. This one is really good and has a tutorial:

http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/workflows/wf-overview.html

Also see:

Here is a community article that talks about how to create a custom workflow step:

Once you go through these topics -- you will gain a better understanding of workflows.
