Tasks tool
Use the Tasks tool to select tasks, manage content within a task, and add comments and approve or reject tasks.
Note: The Workspace Management tool replaces all of the workspace management features
in the Workspace Administration Tool and the Tasks tool.The Tasks tool works within the context of a workspace. A workspace is an access-controlled work area where you can make and preview changes to managed assets, without affecting what is currently running on your site. Working in the context of a workspace is similar to having your own private copy of the managed assets. You can make changes and preview changes without affecting managed assets outside the workspace. Once you are satisfied with the changes you have made in a workspace, you can commit the changes to the production database, and begin to see the effects on your site.
