6 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps editorial teams gather stories from a publishing workspace and organize a human review before making content public.

  1. Gather available story records

    Bring the stories in scope into one reviewable inventory without assuming that every item is ready for release.

  2. Keep story details and status visible

    Show the available title, content context, and current review status so an editor can understand each item.

  3. Check content and publication readiness

    Have an editor review factual claims, completeness, rights, and any details that need correction.

  4. Confirm the intended audience and destination

    Verify where an approved story is meant to appear and whether its timing is appropriate.

  5. Approve before publishing

    Require an authorized editor to confirm the exact story and destination before public release.

  6. Record holds and editorial decisions

    Keep approved, revised, and held stories distinguishable so the team knows which items still need work.

03 / The result

Something to build on.

The handoff

A reviewable story inventory with publication decisions left to an authorized editor; approved items can proceed, while others remain held for revision or clarification.

Keep in mind

A story being available for review does not mean it is accurate, approved, or ready to publish. Check facts, rights, status, and destination, and require explicit editorial approval before any public release.

Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.
