EDITORIAL REVIEW · Workflow idea

Find an article angle in community discussion without copying people’s posts or exposing authors.

For authorized work involving selected public discussions, proposed article topics, and researched draft content, prepare topic ideas and a researched article draft from selected public discussion for editorial review. Public posts remain protected expression and may contain personal details or community-specific restrictions. Respect source rules, avoid identifiable quotes without permission, verify research against primary evidence, keep uncertainty visible, and require an editor to approve all content before publication.

Keep in mind

Public posts remain protected expression and may contain personal details or community-specific restrictions. Respect source rules, avoid identifiable quotes without permission, verify research against primary evidence, keep uncertainty visible, and require an editor to approve all content before publication.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Record sources and allowed uses

Keep attribution, license limits, and audience or expiration restrictions visible.

Set fact-checking and disclosure standards

Define how claims, translations, quotations, and disclosures are checked.

Protect unpublished material

Restrict briefs, source files, and drafts to designated reviewers.

Require editorial approval

Keep publication, scheduling, and external distribution paused until a person approves them.

Keep exploring

Review a weekly source-informed content calendar

Plan timely content without treating a feed summary as a publish-ready fact. Verify the source, protect relevant information, and keep consequential choices with an accountable person.

Review scheduled blog publication

Check the whole post and its destination before it becomes public. Verify the evidence, protect relevant information, and keep consequential choices with an accountable person.
