Description
User Story
As a large typesetting service provider, we track jobs independently of Janeway. When we use Janeway to send a proof to the editor for author review, we set its status in our system as "waiting for return of proofs from author". However, sometimes the editor publishes the article, without returning it to us, because no corrections were made to the proof. We aren't notified when that happens, so soon our records get out of sync with the journal's records. We have to email the journal outside of Janeway to ask about lingering articles, and this is cumbersome
Proposed solution
We'd like to be notified in two ways:
- When an editor moves an article out of typesetting, we'd like to be notified by email.
- We'd like to see an overview of articles we previously worked on with indications of current status. This would allow us to compare Janeway to our own records from time to time to check for discrepancies, clearing articles that have been moved to pre-publication.

Research direction
Start by tracing the article typesetting workflow and the status transition that moves an article out of typesetting. Then identify how Janeway currently sends email notifications and presents article status. Done should provide an email notification for that transition and an overview of previously typeset articles with their current status.
