Redefining your editorial workflow.

Description

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.

We'd love to hear from you! For support questions, feedback and ideas, please use the WordPress.org forums, which we look at often. If you'd like to contribute code, we'd love to have you involved.

Installation

The easiest way to install this plugin is to go to Add New in the Plugins section of your blog admin and search for "Edit Flow." On the far right side of the search results, click "Install."

If the automatic process above fails, follow these simple steps to do a manual install:

1. Extract the contents of the zip file into your /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Write and enjoy the merits of a structured editorial workflow!

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Edit Flow work with multisite?

Yep, in the sense that you can activate Edit Flow on each subsite. Edit Flow doesn't yet offer the ability to manage content across a network of sites.

Edit Flow doesn't do X, Y, and Z. That makes me sad.

All development happens on GitHub.
