Creating Content Items in Different States

You can create a document in a state other than draft by replacing the app:draft element in the Atom entry resource that you upload with a vaext:state element that specifies the required state. To create a document that is immediately published, for example, you would need to replace:

<app:control>
  <app:draft>yes</app:draft>
</app:control>

with:

<app:control>
  <vaext:state xmlns:vaext="http://www.vizrt.com/atom-ext">published</vaext:state>
</app:control>

The vaext namespace prefix must be declared somewhere in the Atom file (for example on the element itself as shown above).

For a list of the various states that you can specify in this way, see Example State Transitions Document.
