Move a child object (term) to a new parent object (term) with workflow
Information note
Before you Publish a child object (e.g., term contained within a term) or Approve if automatic publishing is enabled, you must first Publish the parent object. Thus, when adding an entire structure of objects under workflow and in a hierarchy, you must either Publish the parents first (and in order down the hierarchy) or select all using the bulk update and Publish all at once.
