EDITORIAL SOCIAL SHARING · Workflow idea

Share useful reading consistently without giving up editorial control.

Collect recent articles around topics chosen by a content owner, keep track of what has already been shared, and prepare a concise post for a professional audience. Preserve the original source, check that the article and proposed wording are appropriate, and require a person to approve the exact post, account, audience, and timing before publication.

Keep in mind

An article’s context, authorship, and reuse permissions matter, and an automated post can misrepresent the source or publish to the wrong audience. Check the original article and any quotation or commentary, avoid duplicate or misleading posts, and require a content owner to approve the exact wording, account, audience, and timing before publication. Approve any notification message and recipient before sending it as well.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define topics, sources, and audience

Set a useful review schedule

Keep source and sharing history

Retain original links and enough history to avoid duplicates and support attribution.

Assign editorial and publishing approvers

Name who checks the article and who approves the exact post, destination, timing, and any notification.
