Description of problem:logged on as author - create new article - finish authoring steps, after selecting finish and adding comment categorisation step is displayed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible:always Steps to Reproduce: 1.logon as user 2.create new article 3.finish authoring step - add comment and select finish Actual results: Expected results: Expect to be returned to /content-center Additional info:
Currently upon completing a task, the author is left on the original page, as post-task redirection may be a bit complex. It's hard to know whether the author would want to go back to content center, go to the browse pane, or stay on the current page. The only current exception to this is if the author has an active deploy task on the same item (true for rapid workflow), in which case the author is redirected to the lifecycle tab.
Apparently this functionality was already agreed to be out-of-scope for this release.

Scott - Your e-mail of 17/1 states that this item is out of scope. As it stands, when you finish authoring, you are taken into an open assign categories form which does not make sense. If you have just finished a task on that item, you do not want to go back into one step on that item either. - We need to at least return the user to a neutral place - in my view, that is /content-centre
The problem is that the proper "neutral place" may be different to different users. Since there's no one obvious appropriate place, the current behavior is to leave the user in the current location. If you're on the categories screen when you say 'finish', then you stay there. If you're on the metadata step, then that's where you stay. It was listed as out-of-scope since the requirements didn't address it, and at the time there did not seem to be a trivial solution, since the global redirect may not be universally appropriate. I'll speak with Dan and Brian to see if there may be some quick but more appropriate solution, but I'm not sure what we'll be able to do here.
OK, we've decided to implement this as an optional feature, tied to the "streamlined creation" parameter. So the same parameter that turns on the automatic opening of basic properties and body text steps and forwarding from one authoring step to the next controls the redirect. When streamlined creation is set to true, then the user is redirected to /content-center after entering workflow comments. The only exception to this is if the next step is deploy _and_ the commenting user also has this assigned. THe use case here is the two-step rapid workflow will go immediately from 'finish authoring' form to the publish form.
