RICH-TEXT FORMATTING · Workflow idea

Make rich-text content ready for a web page, with the original close by.

Take a selected record containing formatted notes and prepare a web-friendly version of its text. Keep both versions together so an editor can compare headings, lists, links, and emphasis before the prepared content replaces anything or appears publicly.

The handoff

A proposed formatted version beside its source text, awaiting an editor’s review before it is saved or published.

Keep in mind

Formatting conversion can change emphasis, lists, links, or the meaning of special characters. Compare the prepared text with the complete source record, check every link and any personal or confidential information, and require an editor to approve the exact content before a record is changed or anything is published.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose records and content fields

Select the records in scope and identify which rich-text field may be prepared for another destination.

Agree on formatting expectations

Document how headings, links, lists, and special characters should appear in the final content.

Assign an editor and record owner

Name who checks the source, verifies the prepared version, and approves any change or publication.

Test varied formatting

Review examples with nested lists, links, symbols, and empty fields; confirm the source remains available until approval.
