Editorial Workflow Manager adds an editorial checklist to the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg) so your team can follow a consistent pre-publish checklist every time you publish.
It’s built for content teams, agencies, and editors who want a lightweight publishing checklist workflow inside the editor — with clear “ready vs incomplete” feedback — without hard publish blocking.
This plugin does not output anything on the front end.
<h3>What you can do</h3>
<ul>
<li>Create reusable checklist templates (required + optional items).</li>
<li>Assign different editorial checklists to different post types.</li>
<li>Track per-post checklist progress in the editor sidebar.</li>
<li>See readiness and progress in the sidebar, the post status panel, and the pre-publish panel.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Typical use cases</h3>
<ul>
<li>Blog posts: SEO checks, featured image, categories/tags, internal links, fact check.</li>
<li>News/Editorial: legal review, source confirmation, editor sign-off checklist.</li>
<li>Agencies: client approvals checklist, accessibility checks, brand requirements.</li>
<li>Teams: consistent publishing workflow across authors and editors.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Checklist templates – manage reusable checklists as a custom post type.</li>
<li>Template editor (row-based UI) – add, remove, reorder items; mark each item Required or Optional.</li>
<li>Required vs Optional items – readiness is based on required items only.</li>
<li>Per-post checklist state – each post/page stores its own checklist progress.</li>
<li>Gutenberg / Block Editor sidebar – “Editorial Checklist” panel inside the editor.</li>
<li>Readiness + progress indicators
<ul>
<li>Sidebar summary with Ready / Incomplete and required progress</li>
<li>Post Status panel summary while editing</li>
<li>Non-blocking pre-publish warning when required items are missing</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Different checklist per post type – assign templates in Settings.</li>
<li>Default templates included on activation.</li>
<li>Fresh-install quickstart wizard – choose post types, assign starter templates, and jump straight into the editor.</li>
<li>Lightweight editor tour – auto-open the checklist sidebar once and explain required-item readiness.</li>
<li>Backward compatible upgrades – legacy templates still work and upgrade to UUID-based v2 items when saved.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Getting started</h3>
<ol>
<li>Activate the plugin and complete the Quickstart wizard.</li>
<li>Choose the post types where editorial checklists should appear.</li>
<li>Confirm the starter template mappings, then open the editor.</li>
<li>Follow the one-time sidebar tour in the block editor.</li>
<li>Complete checklist items and watch the readiness/progress summary update.</li>
<li>Adjust mappings later in Settings → Editorial Workflow or edit templates in Checklist Templates.</li>
</ol>
