Review & publish

Articles never go live without human approval. A reviewer approves a specific version, and if the content changes afterwards the approval no longer applies. Landing page copy moves through save draft, preview and publish.

The article workflow

1. 1Draft: edit the article in the editor; changes autosave.
2. 2Submit: submit for review and the status becomes pending review.
3. 3Review: a reviewer checks the preview and the AI review in the Review articles queue.
4. 4Approve: the reviewer approves and the article becomes approved.
5. 5Publish: a publisher or higher publishes it, or it goes out on the publish schedule.

The review queue

• The queue has two tabs: Web & API Channel and WordPress channel.
• Filter by status, AI review, site, content type, keyword and campaign.
• Run AI Review to see scores for quality, SEO, brand and sourcing, an overall score and any blocking reasons.
• The AI verdict is one of Ready, Needs approval, Needs revision or Unreviewed.

Approvals are bound to a version

• Approving records the article content at that moment.
• Editing the content after approval returns the article to pending review.
• A reviewer can withdraw approval, sending the article back to pending review or back to draft for the writer to fix.
• Once an article is no longer approved, any scheduled auto-publish is cancelled.

Pre-publish checks

• The Publish button stays disabled until the article is approved.
• You cannot publish while the article has no author or still has technical errors.
• Critical SEO issues also block publishing, but you can override them with Publish anyway.
• After publishing, use Unpublish to take the article down.

For landing pages

1. 1Edit the fields and save them as a draft.
2. 2Check the real page before publishing in the signed preview. Preview links expire.
3. 3Publish; the live page revalidates automatically.
