Which server type typically handles content approval in Adobe Experience Manager?

The correct answer is that the workflow engine typically handles content approval in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM). In AEM, the workflow engine is responsible for automating processes, including content approval workflows. When content is created or modified, it can be sent through a series of approval steps defined by the workflow, allowing stakeholders to review and approve changes before they are published. This ensures that all content meets the required quality and compliance standards before reaching the end user.

While the author server and publish server play important roles in AEM, they serve different functions. The author server is where content creators and editors develop and manage content, while the publish server is responsible for delivering final content to end users. Although the workflows may be initiated from the author server, it is the workflow engine that specifically manages the approval process itself. The Apache server, on the other hand, primarily serves as a web server and does not engage in content approval processes within AEM.
