From topic to published post

Follow a post through the content pipeline from planned to in progress to review to published.

The content pipeline is where articles get made. Your marketing system carries each post through research, drafting, fact-checking, and polishing, pausing for you wherever your automation settings say to. Find it under Content → Pipeline.

Only two articles run at a time

This is the thing people ask about most. While two articles are moving, the Start button on the others is greyed out. As soon as one finishes, the next can start.

How a post moves through the pipeline

Once you start a post (from a topic or directly), it advances through these stages:

  1. Researching, the system gathers source material.
  2. Drafting, it writes a full draft.
  3. Fact Check 1 and Fact Check 2, claims are verified in two separate passes.
  4. Humanizing and Style Check, the draft is polished to your brand voice.
  5. Internal Linking, the new article is tied to what you have already published.
  6. Ready for Review, the post waits for your approval.

Control a post mid-flight

Each row has its own controls: Pause, Resume, Retry failed step, and Delete. There is also a pipeline-wide pause if you want to stop everything at once.

Rows carry a triage badge so you can see at a glance what needs you: Ready to ship or Needs your eyes.

Review and approve

Where a stage is a checkpoint, the post pauses and waits for you. Open it from the Pipeline and read the work. Approve Post (or Approve Brief at the brief stage) sends it onward. Request Revision opens a note box, and Send Revision hands your note back to the system. How many stages pause is up to your automation level.

After approval

Approved articles land in your Content Hub, ready to publish to your blog and to repurpose for social.
