Published Published
The document is published and available to users with permissions in the document module. A published document cannot be returned to draft status as long as it is approved or has previously been a draft. Create a new version to perform the workflow.
Revoked
Documents that have been published can be withdrawn in order to make them unavailable to system users. The document can be published again at any time.
History History
Documents with the status History have previously been published, but are now historical and locked to prevent any changes. To modify the document, create a new version. If a new version has been created but the current version has History status, the document will not be available until the new version is published.
