Republish button KB should follow the same approval as publish

[diana_tat]

Do you know how to modify the republish button (for KB) to follow the same approval flow as publish? This is how the publish is configured.

OTB Republish of a retired KB Article using the 'Republish' UI Action causes an instant publish to kick in. If you want the article to have to be reapproved then to alter this behaviour the simplest way would be to amend the 'Republish' UI Action and set the Stage of the KB article to Draft by updating the field 'workflow_state' to draft. This will cause the workflow to kick -in and the user would then need to click the Publish button and seek Approval again if you have the 'Publish Workflow' field on the parent Knowledgebase set to 'Knowledge - Approval Publish'.
