Hi,
I want the publishing major version OOTB workflow to start automatically without the user pressing the start button and getting the workflow popup window. If it can't be done with the OOB, I have to create a custom workflow with SharePoint Designer, but didn't find the option start workflow when "to approve publishing major version" so how??

Hi
yes, you should use SHP Designer - attach the workflow and start it when an item is changed
In the workflow insert first a condition if version si a major one and next change status to "approved"
About workflow and versions, check this post

Hi Romeo,
thanks for the info and tried but my guess it can't work cause the publishing will actually make it a major version so when the user wants to publish the document to a major version the document version is still minor until the document has been approved or am I wrong?
Any other ideas how to do this?

You could do this in code using Visual Studio and it can be done with jQuery too http://sharepointjavascript.wordpress.com/2012/01/12/approve-multiple-documents-or-list-items-in-one-operation-with-client-side-code/ would need to hack about at the code
Thanks
