No doubt you’ve heard the expression ‘content is king’. We all have. Sure, you can hire a great copywriter and you’ll get great copy. But what you probably didn’t know is that one of the best ways to ensure great content is by using an often overlooked capability within the CMS itself—publishing workflows. Workflows help you maintain high editorial standards by preventing rogue content from being published.

CommonSpot lets you assign tasks to content contributors, editors, approvers and publishers, and then set up intuitive editorial workflows that allow for collaborative editing, versioning, visual difference comparison, and approvals. Nothing gets published without going through the workflow making the process of ensuring great content and adhering to brand editorial standards simple and pain-free.
