Edit Flow

Edit Flow empowers you to collaborate with your editorial team inside WordPress. We’ve made it modular so you can customize it to your needs:

• Calendar – A convenient month-by-month look at your content.
• Custom Statuses – Define the key stages to your workflow.
• Editorial Comments – Threaded commenting in the admin for private discussion between writers and editors.
• Editorial Metadata – Keep track of the important details.
• Notifications – Receive timely updates on the content you’re following.
• Story Budget – View your upcoming content budget.
• User Groups – Keep your users organized by department or function.

More details for each feature, screenshots and documentation can be found on our website.
