ማብራሪያ
Editorial Workflow Manager adds editorial checklists to the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg), so you and your team can follow a consistent review process before publishing posts and pages.
This first (free) version is designed with agencies and content teams in mind:
- Create reusable checklist templates for different types of content.
- Map templates to post types (e.g. Posts, Pages).
- Tick items as you work using an Editorial Checklist sidebar in the editor.
- See a soft status warning in the Status & visibility panel when the checklist is incomplete.
No publish blocking or approvals in this free version. A separate Pro add-on is planned with those features.
