EDITORIAL ORGANIZATION · Workflow idea

Keep articles easier to browse with categories an editor can trust.

Review uncategorized article titles and prepare category suggestions from the publication’s established editorial labels. Keep the original content untouched, make uncertain matches visible, and let an editor confirm the category before a post is changed or readers see a new classification.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A draft or published article that an editor has selected for categorization

“Suggest one or more established categories for selected articles and hold every content change for an editor to review and approve.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps publishers organize a backlog of articles into a consistent category structure with less manual sorting.

  1. Select articles that need a category

    Confirm the article is in scope and truly lacks an approved category before preparing a suggestion.

  2. Compare the article with editorial labels

    Use the title and relevant content to identify the closest established category, and avoid inventing a new label.

  3. Show the proposed classification

    Present the article, suggested category, and a short explanation together so an editor can assess the match.

  4. Flag uncertainty and sensitive subject matter

    Set aside ambiguous, potentially sensitive, or multi-topic articles for a person to classify carefully.

  5. Approve before changing the publication

    Require an editor to confirm the exact category and affected article before any content record is updated or made public.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A review list pairing each article with its proposed category and rationale, awaiting editorial approval before the post is updated.

The handoff

A review list pairing each article with its proposed category and rationale, awaiting editorial approval before the post is updated.

Keep in mind

A category can affect how readers find and interpret an article. Use only the publication’s approved labels, preserve the article as-is, flag uncertain or sensitive topics, and require an editor to verify the proposed category before any post is updated or republished.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define the approved category list

Review the publication’s existing labels, their intended meanings, and the editor responsible for changes.

Choose which articles may be reviewed

Set the eligible publication status and content types, and limit access to authorized editorial staff.

Assign editorial review and change approval

Name who checks uncertain suggestions and approves category changes before they appear to readers.

Test clear, overlapping, and sensitive topics

Review sample articles and confirm uncertain matches remain drafts for an editor rather than being applied automatically.
