    I made some infographics about 8 Content Moderation!

    How does Content Moderation work? By default, edits to entities happen in their latest, default revision. A "default" revision is what you get when you load an entity by ID.
    You may need Content Moderation! Content Moderation enhances entity revisions with Workflow States.
A state stores two important pieces of information:
1. Published "Is this a live or public revision of an entity?
2. Default "Is this the default revision when you load an entity?"
    A moderated entity may have a history where you have a default revision that's published, and a latest revision where your work is done.
This allows you to make edits without modifying published content!
States are powerful on their own, but we still need a review workflow.
    We need Workflow Transitions!
A transition describes how you move from one state to another.
Here's a common example of a state and transition workflow:
Draft can go into an "In review" state, which can go int o a "Published" state.
Each entity bundle can have its own workflow, or share one:
Blogs and articles: Editorial review,
Press releases and terms of services: :legal review,
Documentation: Technical review

    I'm witnessing a "new" kind of spam. I registered a domain name last Sunday, and since I've had 25+ phone calls where people try to sell me website services. Funny, but not funny.
