Testimonials

A super easy way to create a workflow where many authors create content and only a couple editors stage and publish approved content.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I don’t work with a team of writers, but I manage a lot of material on our website. Having a nice, functional calendar built right in has helped me stay on top of the writing and scheduling. Love the plugin.
