I have added a group for review , editor and metadata editor to a collection, When a submitter submit to dspace , and then the reviewer has only to option , delete or send back, How to forward it to editor after review? 
I'm using dspace 8, is it a bug or i am doing something wrong?

Hi,

From your description, it sounds like you might be using the wrong tool (but I'm not certain).  Administrators have access to an "Administer Workflow" page (in the sidebar menu), but this page only allows for delete / send back options.   The full workflow approval process is a separate page/tool.   To see items in Workflow, you should login and go to "MyDSpace" (under your profile).  From there, in the "Show" dropdown change the value to "Workflow tasks".  This will display any workflow approval tasks that are available to you.

Hi Prem,
It has been a while since I tested this, but I believe accepted items flow automatically to the editors' workflow. I can't recall whether an email is generated to notify editors when a reviewer has accepted a submission. Suggest testing with a dummy collection to verify.

Best,
Genny
