What is Bundle Publishing?

Bundle Publishing is a way to move a group of content through an approval workflow together. Examples of content that could use this functionality:
• Reports
• Guides
• Books
• Products
• Course Schedules

• Create a container for the product
• Allow multiple nodes to make up of the final product.
• Allow the nodes to move through different workflow states.
• Don’t publish the nodes of the product until all nodes have gone through approval and the parent node is set to publish.
Benefits of the Book Module

Workbench Moderation Rules

• Child pages can never be set to Publish on their own.
• If parent page is set to Published check that all child pages are set to Ready to Publish before looping through each node and publishing them.
• If not all children are set to Ready to Publish do not set any node to Published.
