	EPrints provides an editorial workflow for items that have been entered (see acquisition, above) to be checked, reviewed, commented on, modified, returned to the original depositor, moved to another reviewer, or placed into a final, published state. This facilitates simple peer review, editorial oversight or management authorisation for publishing, commentary or rights checking. EPrints has an extremely flexible editorial workflow that allows items that are requested for deposit to be passed to one or more editorial assistants, depending on the ''editorial scope'' that they have been assigned. Items can pass between different editors as different parts of the workflow are enacted. This means that a report can undergo copy-editing, copyright checks, IPR scrutiny and security analyses by a range of different people before it is allowed to appear in the public repository, or that a student PhD thesis can be signed off by the viva committee, the departmental teaching office and the library.
