The handoff

A draft article with the original submission and review notes, ready for editorial verification before sharing or publishing.

Keep in mind

Press releases may contain embargoed, confidential, or inaccurate claims, and polished copy can make unsupported details seem authoritative. Restrict source documents to the editorial team, verify claims and attribution independently, and require an editor to approve the exact article, recipient, and destination before any reply or publication.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Set submission and sender review rules

Define which senders and document types the editorial team may handle and who reviews unusual submissions.

Protect unpublished source material

Limit access to press releases, attachments, and drafts, especially when content is confidential or under embargo.

Define editorial and fact-checking standards

Set expectations for attribution, independent confirmation, tone, and disclosures in the finished article.

Assign editors for replies and publication

Name who approves the exact article, recipient, and publication destination before external sharing.
