<li>Resource Library</li>
<li>Footnotes / References</li>
</ul>
Key features:
<ul>
<li>block.json-based registration for all blocks</li>
<li>included source files and local build tooling for maintainable, human-readable code review</li>
<li>polished editor controls built with Gutenberg components</li>
<li>dynamic frontend rendering where markup stability matters</li>
<li>Interactivity API support for live filtering in the Resource Library block</li>
<li>accessibility-minded markup and keyboard-friendly controls</li>
<li>i18n-ready strings and defensive data handling</li>
<li>test coverage for shared behavior helpers</li>
</ul>
The plugin is designed for teams who care about publishing quality, not just decorative layout.

Content Flow Manager adds a structured, professional editorial review workflow to WordPress.
It is designed for multi-author blogs, editorial teams, news platforms, content agencies, and organizations that need to review, approve, or reject content before it is published.
Instead of relying on informal checks, chat messages, or external tools, Content Flow Manager introduces a clear approval process directly inside the WordPress editor.
<h3>Why Content Flow Manager?</h3>
WordPress is powerful — but out of the box, it needs a true editorial approval layer.
On multi-author sites, this often leads to: 
– Posts being published accidentally 
– Feedback scattered across emails or chat tools 
– No clear approval history 
– Editors lacking visibility into content status
Content Flow Manager bridges this gap by introducing a structured review step between content creation and publication — without changing how authors write.
<h3>Real-World Use Cases</h3>
1. Multi-Author Blogs 
Authors create content freely while editors retain full control over what gets published. 
Posts are submitted for review, feedback is given directly in WordPress, and only approved content goes live.
2. News & Editorial Websites 
Designed for editorial teams that need accountability and traceability. 
Editors can approve or reject stories with notes, creating a clear approval trail for every post.
3. Corporate & Marketing Teams 
Marketing teams draft announcements, campaigns, or updates while managers review and approve content before publishing — preventing mistakes and maintaining brand consistency.
4. Educational & Community Platforms 
Ideal for platforms where instructors, moderators, or administrators must review submitted content before it becomes public.
5. Agencies Managing Client Content 
Writers prepare content while clients or internal reviewers approve final versions, keeping everything auditable and centralized inside WordPress.
<h3>How It Works (Simple Flow)</h3>
<ol>
<li>An author creates or updates a post</li>
<li>The post is marked as Pending Review</li>
<li>An editor or administrator reviews the content</li>
<li>The reviewer approves or rejects the post with a note</li>
<li>The author sees feedback and can revise accordingly</li>
<li>Approved content is published with full traceability</li>
</ol>
No emails. No spreadsheets. No confusion.
Everything happens inside WordPress.
<h3>Why I Built This Plugin</h3>
I built Content Flow Manager after working on multi-author and editorial WordPress sites where content quality mattered, but proper approval workflows were missing.
Too often, review processes lived outside WordPress — in chats, emails, or shared documents — leading to confusion, missed feedback, and accidental publishing.
This plugin was built to: 
– Keep the entire editorial process inside WordPress 
– Provide clear accountability for approvals 
– Give authors transparent feedback 
– Offer a clean, extensible foundation developers can trust
The goal is not to replace WordPress — but to complete it for serious content teams.
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Editorial review system with approve / reject actions</li>
<li>Reviewer notes and feedback visible to authors</li>
<li>Clear pending review state after content submission</li>
<li>Author dashboard to track review status and feedback</li>
<li>Admin/editor dashboard showing full approval history</li>
<li>Review activity logs stored in a custom database table</li>
<li>Secure implementation using nonces, sanitization, and capability checks</li>
<li>Cron-based reminders for pending reviews</li>
<li>Developer-friendly, extensible architecture using modern PHP</li>
</ul>
<h3>Developer Notes</h3>
<ul>
<li>Namespace: <code>Lagostechboy\EditorialWorkflow</code></li>
<li>Modern PHP with strict typing</li>
<li>PSR-4–style autoloading</li>
<li>Clean separation of concerns (Workflow, Hooks, Admin UI, Database)</li>
<li>GPL licensed and WordPress.org compliant</li>
</ul>
