Episode Notes

What this episode covers.

In large organizations, content should not go live the moment it’s created.

It needs to be reviewed, approved, and sometimes processed automatically.
That’s where Workflows come in.

In this video, I explain AEM Workflows in simple terms:
• What workflows represent in AEM
• Why enterprises rely on workflows for control

They are how organizations enforce process and accountability.

Understanding workflows helps you see how AEM supports governance at scale.
