Editorial (Content) Workflow

Image Workflow

Workflow for images will allow images to be created in "Draft" and pushed "Public" without needing a review state. Images that need to be edited will then be put back into Draft, and allowed to be pushed public after edits are made.

Note that if an image is uploaded to replace an existing image, it will create another version of that image (image_v1). The file system would need to be cleaned up in order to remove the original image if the intent is to not use it anywhere.
