Plumber - Workflow for Umbraco

The workflow solution for Umbraco. Plumber adds a heap of useful bits and pieces to Umbraco, to allow multi-staged workflow approval for publish/unpublish actions.

Where possible, please install via Nuget - I have a habit of forgetting to update here...

NOTE: Umbraco 7.8 and older should use v0.8. Plumber v0.9+ targets 7.9+.

After installing, the newly added Workflow section includes a documentation tab, which offers more explanation of features and processes.

Bug reports are encouraged.

Features (including, not limited to):

Group-driven workflow
Document-based workflow
Document-type-based workflow
Workflow inheritance based on the content tree structure
Exclude sections of the content tree from the workflow model
Email notifications as tasks progress through workflows
User dashboard, showing pending submissions and tasks
Admin dashboard, showing all active tasks, charting, data overview
Extends Umbraco's existing permissions model
Customised action buttons (replaces default save/save and publish options)
Workflow history (document-based and global)
Export and import all config for easy deployment across environments
Explicit/Implicit approvals - should the original editor be included in the workflow?
