Editorial Workflow / Editorial Process Management

An editorial workflow or editorial process management refers to the structured sequence of tasks and responsibilities in the creation, editing and publication of content. The aim is to ensure quality, consistency and efficiency in the editorial process.
 
A typical editorial workflow comprises several phases. These include planning and topic identification, content creation (text, image, video), editing and quality assurance, approval and publication as well as performance measurement and optimisation. The clear definition of roles and responsibilities is crucial to ensure a smooth process.
Quality assurance is an essential part of the editorial workflow. It includes checking content for accuracy, completeness, linguistic quality and compliance with guidelines. Quality assurance can be made more efficient by using automated processes and AI-supported tools.
 
Effective editorial process management makes it possible to create, manage and optimise content in a targeted manner in order to achieve the desired business results. Measuring the success of content using metrics such as sales increase, conversion rate and interaction is important to continuously improve the editorial workflow.
