Creating new content for review

What's my plan?

With Team Publishing, you can set up a workflow for new content collaboration or approval. A content author can create a new article as a work in progress, then, when ready, submit the article for review. Articles that are ready for review go into in a queue that reviewers can monitor, if they have permission. Articles can also be assigned to a specific person for review.

To create a work in progress version of an existing, published article, see Staging content updates for an existing article for review.

Agents can create new content for review if they have management permissions.

This article covers the following topics:

• Creating a work in progress article
• Submitting a work in progress article for review

Creating a work in progress article

You can create a new article and save it for publishing later. When a new article is saved, it becomes a work in progress article.

To create a work in progress article

1. Click Add in the top menu bar, then select Article.

   

2. Enter your content in the article body.
3. Under Publish in section in the right panel, select a section for the article.
4. Click Save.

   The article becomes a work in progress when you save and is added to the Work in progress list.

   

5. If you want to preview the staged article, click Preview in the article footer.

   

   The preview link expires after one hour. The preview can be viewed by anyone who has the link.

6. Continue to work on the article as needed.
7. When you are ready, you can publish the article, if you have permission, or you can submit the article for review.

Submitting a work in progress article for review

When you're ready, you can submit your work in progress article for review. You can also assign the article to a specific person for review, if you'd like.

If you need to submit multiple articles for review at once, see Updating knowledge base articles in bulk.

To submit an article for review

1. In Guide, click Manage articles () in the sidebar, then select Work in progress and open your article from the list.
2. Complete any work on the article, then click Save.
3. When your article is ready, click the drop-down arrow on the Review status button, then select Awaiting review.

   

   The article status changes from work in progress to ready for review, and the article is added to the Ready for review list.

4. If you'd like, you can assign the article to a specific person, see Assigning or reassigning articles with Team Publishing.
