+Feature: Workspace status
+  The workspace status signals if the workspace is UP_TO_DATE or OUTDATED
+  All depending workspaces are considered OUTDATED if changes are made or published into a workspace
+
+  Background:
+    Given using no content dimensions
+    And using the following node types:
+    """yaml
+    'Neos.ContentRepository.Testing:Content':
+      properties:
+        text:
+          type: string
+    """
+    And using identifier "default", I define a content repository
+    And I am in content repository "default"
+    And the command CreateRootWorkspace is executed with payload:
+      | Key                | Value           |
+      | workspaceName      | "live"          |
+      | newContentStreamId | "cs-identifier" |
+    And I am in workspace "live" and dimension space point {}
+    And the command CreateRootNodeAggregateWithNode is executed with payload:
+      | Key             | Value                         |
+      | nodeAggregateId | "lady-eleonode-rootford"      |
+      | nodeTypeName    | "Neos.ContentRepository:Root" |
+
+    And the following CreateNodeAggregateWithNode commands are executed:
+      | nodeAggregateId  | nodeTypeName                           | parentNodeAggregateId  | nodeName |
+      | nody-mc-nodeface | Neos.ContentRepository.Testing:Content | lady-eleonode-rootford | child    |
+
+    And the command SetNodeProperties is executed with payload:
+      | Key                       | Value                |
+      | workspaceName             | "live"               |
+      | nodeAggregateId           | "nody-mc-nodeface"   |
+      | originDimensionSpacePoint | {}                   |
+      | propertyValues            | {"text": "Original"} |
+
+    And the command CreateWorkspace is executed with payload:
+      | Key                | Value              |
+      | workspaceName      | "user-ws-one"      |

+      | newContentStreamId | "user-cs-one"      |
+
+    And the command CreateWorkspace is executed with payload:
+      | Key                | Value                  |
+      | workspaceName      | "shared"               |
+      | baseWorkspaceName  | "live"                 |
+      | newContentStreamId | "shared-cs-identifier" |
+
+    And the command CreateWorkspace is executed with payload:

+      | baseWorkspaceName  | "shared"           |
+      | newContentStreamId | "user-cs-two"      |
+
+  Scenario: Changes to the root workspace render dependents outdated
+    Then workspaces live,shared,user-ws-one,user-ws-two have status UP_TO_DATE
+
+    And the command SetNodeProperties is executed with payload:

+      | propertyValues            | {"text": "Revision"} |
+
+    Then workspace live has status UP_TO_DATE
+    Then workspaces shared,user-ws-one have status OUTDATED
+    # the others users workspace is not outdated because it depends on shared
+    Then workspace user-ws-two has status UP_TO_DATE
+
+  Scenario: Publishing to the root workspace render dependents outdated
+    Then workspaces live,shared,user-ws-one,user-ws-two have status UP_TO_DATE

+
+    Then workspaces live,shared,user-ws-one,user-ws-two have status UP_TO_DATE
+
+    And the command PublishWorkspace is executed with payload:
+      | Key           | Value         |
+      | workspaceName | "user-ws-one" |
+
+    Then workspaces live,user-ws-one have status UP_TO_DATE
+    Then workspace shared has status OUTDATED
+    # the others users workspace is not outdated because it depends on shared
+    Then workspace user-ws-two has status UP_TO_DATE
+
+    #
+    # Rebasing to get everything up to date
+    #
+
+    When the command RebaseWorkspace is executed with payload:
+      | Key                    | Value                 |

+
+    Then workspaces live,shared,user-ws-one have status UP_TO_DATE
+    Then workspace user-ws-two has status OUTDATED
+
+    When the command RebaseWorkspace is executed with payload:
