Keep in mind

A draft may contain unsupported claims, copied material, or an unsuitable visual. Verify facts and sources, confirm image permissions and brand fit, restrict unpublished work to the editorial team, and require an authorized editor to approve the exact content, image, audience, and schedule before publication.
