Promoting an item advances it to its next lifecycle state. When you promote an item, Webtop checks whether the item is linked to other items that are candidates for promotion. Depending on your WDK-based application, you are either prompted to promote those items as well or the items are automatically promoted if there is a relation type specified to do so.
If you are the items owner or a superuser, you need only Write permission on the item to promote it. If you are not the items owner or a superuser, you must have Write permission plus Change State permission in order to promote the item.
To promote an item to the next lifecycle state:
Navigate to the items.
Do one of the following, depending on the options available:
Click More>Document>Promote.
Select the item’s checkbox. (To promote several items at once, select each item’s checkbox). Select Tools>Lifecycle>Promote.
If your WDK-based application supports controlled documents, the controlled document must be the latest version in its branch to be promoted.
