Bypass approval process of SharePoint page publishing process?

Question

I am using SharePoint 2007 + Windows Server 2008 with SharePoint 2007's publishing portal template.

When publish a page, I have to go through check-in/request for approval/approve process. Any solutions to skip request for approval and approval process (i.e. when we check-in an item, it will be published directly without approval)?

Answer 1

You can remove the Workflow and Approval Process from the pages Library.

To do so Site Actions - > View All Site Content - > Open Pages Lib and In the Pages Library select Settings -> Document Library Settings -> Versioning settings

Select the Following Say no to Require content approval for submitted items? Select No Versioning

And In Workflow settings you can remove the Workflow.
