#Decision points
Decisions to make along the way
- Is the content accurate and on-brand?
- Ready to go live?
#Approval points
Human approval required
- Content is reviewed before publishing; live WordPress publishing requires a human publish-live approval.
#Success metrics
- No unapproved live changes
- Accurate published content
#Best practices
- Review before publishing.
- Always use the publish-live gate.
#Common mistakes
- Publishing without review.
- Bypassing the approval gate.
#Realistic example
In practice
A marketer drafts an update, a colleague reviews it, and it goes live only after the publish-live approval — verified on the live site.
