How do I create a two-step validation workflow like the following :
- a "contributor" create a document but cannot publish it
- a "validator" then receives a mail or sees the document in his pending list, then he can refuse or validate the document without publishing it
- a "publisher" then receives a mail or sees the document in his pending list, then he can refuse the document or decide to publish it (make it visible)

Thank you for any help.

Hello,

I have exactly the same concern.

Being new on Ez Publish, I have no answer but for what I've seen, documents are either in state 'Draft', 'published' or 'archived' (which is a by the way a bit behind what you can do with plone).
I guess a solution implies having another state, maybe by creating a dedicated attribute in the class of the submitted content.

I'd be very interested by hearing about solutions about that.

Regards,
