| #### Element type workflow support | ||
|
|
||
| Workflows can now be applied to element types, not just documents. This extends the same multi-stage approval workflow model to the new element content type introduced in Umbraco 18. Element folders are also supported, allowing workflow configuration inheritance down nested element folder hierarchies. |

[UmbracoDocs.Editorializing] Consider removing 'just' as it can be considered opinionated.
|
|
||
| #### Workflow actions | ||
|
|
||
| A new extensible action system allows configuring pre-approval and post-approval actions per document type. Actions execute automatically before or after a workflow completes, and can optionally block the workflow on failure. |

[UmbracoDocs.UmbracoTerms] Use 'Document Type' instead of 'document type.' for consistency.
|
|
||
| #### Standalone settings workspaces | ||
|
|
||
| Content Approvals, Content Reviews, and Release Sets settings have each been converted from tree nodes within a shared settings workspace to standalone workspaces with dedicated URL routes. The previous settings tree is replaced with a menu and sidebar pattern, providing a cleaner, more focused navigation experience. |

| #### Backend modernization | ||
|
|
||
| * Feature-slice namespace reorganization: models and view models previously in flat `Umbraco.Workflow.Core.Models`/`ViewModels` namespaces are now organized into feature-specific namespaces (e.g. `ContentApprovals`, `ApprovalGroups`, `Settings`). |

[UmbracoDocs.Terms] Use 'for example' instead of 'e.g' for consistency.
