How can articles be published immediately after being approved?

The ability for articles to be published immediately after approval hinges on the use of an approval process that incorporates Knowledge Actions specifically tailored for publishing. When an approval process is designed to include actions that allow for immediate publication—like 'Publish' or 'Publish as New'—it streamlines the workflow. This means that as soon as an article receives approval, the designated actions can trigger its publication automatically, ensuring it is available for users without delay.

In contrast, manual publication requires a supervisor's intervention, which introduces potential delays and may not be efficient for timely content delivery. Automatic publishing after approval without any action would imply that there’s a mechanism that allows for publication without any designated steps in the process, which is not typically supported in most approval workflows. Scheduled publishing introduces a planning component that can further postpone availability until the specified time, which does not meet the requirement of immediate publication after approval. Thus, the correct approach involves setting up an approval process with defined actions that facilitate immediate availability following approval.
