ARTICLE SUMMARIES · Workflow idea
Prepare a short summary from a selected blog post and place it near the beginning for readers who want a quick orientation. Keep the original article and excerpt intact, and have an editor check the summary against the full text before the post is updated or shared.
01 / The starting point
A published or newly published article selected for a summary
“Prepare a concise summary block from the article, preserve its existing excerpt, and hold changes for editorial verification.”
02 / The work
Helps readers understand an article’s main point before deciding whether to read the full post.
Select an article that is complete and appropriate for a short reader-facing overview.
Capture the main subject and useful takeaways without introducing claims that are absent from the article.
Prepare a clearly marked block near the start while keeping the article body and original excerpt intact.
Have an editor verify meaning, qualifications, links, formatting, and whether the summary suits the intended readers.
Keep the proposed change pending until an authorized editor approves the exact wording and placement.
03 / The result
A proposed summary near the start of the article with the original post and excerpt preserved for comparison.
Reports & insights · Example outcome
A proposed summary near the start of the article with the original post and excerpt preserved for comparison.
A summary may omit qualifications or change the meaning of an article. Compare it with the full post, check links and formatting, and require an editor to approve the exact update before it appears to readers.
04 / Make it yours
A few choices shape the work around your team.
Decide which articles receive summaries and whether review happens on a schedule or after publication.
Agree on the block’s length, label, location, and style so readers can distinguish it from the article.
Name who compares each summary with its article and approves changes to reader-facing content.
Review articles with nuanced claims, excerpts, or previous summaries to confirm the original content remains intact.
