These are the ways you can keep track of workflow states...

At a glance

On the content, the current state is shown in the workflow status bar

A filled circle means you as the current user, are assigned to a content review in that state.

• the default color for each workflow status indicator circle is blue. This indicates that there is no workflow restriction for view only users
• the colored state indicator circle will be green if the current state has been defined as the final state in the workflow
• with a final state in the workflow, the indicator circles for all other states in the workflow are colored orange and considered as workflow draft states (unless a custom state color has been added)

In detail
