DOCUMENT-TO-ARTICLE PREPARATION · Workflow idea

Turn useful documents into an article an editor can stand behind.

Start with a PDF selected by your team and prepare a structured article draft with a proposed title and image. Keep the source alongside the draft so an editor can verify its meaning, claims, and visual rights, then approve the complete post before it is published or shared.

Keep in mind

A draft can misstate the source, omit important qualifications, or use material without permission. Check every claim against the original document, confirm the image and content may be used, and require an authorized editor to approve the exact copy, image, destination, and timing before publishing or contacting anyone about it.
