Workflow post-install
Workflow post-install is a utility module containing functions you may want to execute on existing content after you have installed the Workflow module.
This module was developed in response to various forum discussions, for instance #183133: Set workflow state on existing nodes to <created> when defining new workflow..
Similar functionality may be incorporated into Workflow at some point, making this module redundant.
At the moment, this utility has only one function: to put content that is in No state (and of a type that participates in workflows, as set on the admin/build/workflow page), into a valid workflow state, thus making it accessible and usable in workflows. This refers in particular to content that existed before you installed the Workflow module. Therefore you typically use this module only once, namely shortly after enabling the Workflow module (after that you may uninstall it).
For this reason there's deliberately no menu created to invoke this functionality. You execute it by typing, while logged in as an administrator, the following URI in your browser:
.../content/set_workflow_state/[state]
where [state] is the name of an existing state you want to put all content in e.g. "live".
WARNING: If you mistype the state name, nothing will happen, but if the action succeeds it cannot be undone.
