## Deskripsi

**The Gutenberg editorial checklist for teams that want consistent publishing quality
without a heavy workflow suite.**

**Editorial Workflow Manager** helps content teams, editors, agencies, and multi-
author WordPress sites follow a consistent pre-publish process directly inside the**
WordPress block editor (Gutenberg)**.

Create reusable editorial checklist templates, assign different checklists to different
post types, and give authors a clear view of what is complete and what still needs
attention before publishing.

No complex workflow builder. No front-end output. No hard publish blocking.

Just a focused editorial checklist workflow that helps your team publish with more
consistency and fewer missed steps.

### Make your publishing process repeatable

Turn your editorial standards into reusable checklists that appear directly where
your team writes and edits content.

 * Create reusable checklist templates.
 * Mark checklist items as **Required** or **Optional**.
 * Add helper text and optional reference links to individual items.
 * Assign different checklist templates to different post types.
 * Track checklist progress separately for every post or page.
 * Duplicate existing templates to create new workflows faster.

Required items determine whether a post is shown as **Ready** or **Incomplete**,
while optional items can provide additional guidance without affecting readiness.

### See what is ready to publish

Editorial Workflow Manager gives authors and editors clear readiness feedback across
the WordPress admin.

 * **Editorial Checklist sidebar** inside the block editor.
 * **Ready / Incomplete status** with required-item progress.
 * **Post Status panel** summary while editing.
 * **Pre-publish warning** when required items are still incomplete.
 * **Readiness column** in WordPress post lists for mapped post types.
 * **Readiness filters** for Ready, Incomplete, and Not calculated content.
 * **Missing required-item details** directly in post lists.
 * **Bulk and all-post readiness recalculation** for mapped post types.
 * **Editorial Readiness dashboard summary** for managers.

The pre-publish warning is intentionally **non-blocking**. Your team stays informed
without the plugin taking control of the WordPress publishing process.

### Get started quickly

New installations include a guided setup experience designed to get teams working
quickly.

 * **Quickstart wizard** for choosing post types and assigning checklist templates.
 * **One-time editor tour** introducing the checklist sidebar and readiness system.
 * **Curated starter templates** you can use as-is or customize:
    - Blog SEO
    - News Fact-Check
    - Accessibility Review
    - Client Approval

You can edit, duplicate, and adapt these templates to match your own publishing 
standards.

### Built for real editorial workflows

Use Editorial Workflow Manager for:

 * **Blogs and content teams** — SEO review steps, featured images, categories, 
   links, fact-checking, and publishing standards.
 * **News and editorial sites** — source confirmation, fact-checking, legal review
   steps, and editor sign-off requirements.
 * **Agencies** — client review steps, accessibility checks, brand requirements,
   and delivery standards.
 * **Multi-author sites** — give every contributor the same clear publishing process.
 * **Custom post types** — assign the appropriate checklist to each supported content
   type.

### Key features

 * **Gutenberg-native workflow** — the checklist lives directly inside the WordPress
   block editor.
 * **Reusable checklist templates** — create a repeatable process once and use it
   across content.
 * **Required and Optional items** — distinguish publishing requirements from helpful
   guidance.
 * **Helper text and reference links** — give authors context without leaving the
   checklist.
 * **Checklist template duplication** — clone and customize existing workflows.
 * **Per-post checklist progress** — each post or page maintains its own completion
   state.
 * **Readiness tracking** — see Ready or Incomplete status throughout the editor
   and post list.
 * **Non-blocking pre-publish guidance** — warn authors about missing required items
   without preventing publication.
 * **Post-type mapping** — use different checklists for different types of content.
 * **Starter templates** — begin with practical workflows for blogging, fact-checking,
   accessibility, and client review.
 * **Quickstart onboarding** — configure the plugin and open the editor with less
   setup friction.
 * **Accessible workflows** — keyboard-friendly controls, visible focus states, 
   contextual labels, and live status announcements.
 * **Backward-compatible upgrades** — existing checklist data and legacy templates
   remain supported.

### Lightweight by design

Editorial Workflow Manager focuses on one job: helping WordPress teams follow a 
consistent editorial checklist before publishing.

It does **not** add content to your site’s front end, and it does not try to replace
WordPress with a complex project-management or enterprise workflow system.

Use it when you want a clear, practical publishing process directly inside Gutenberg.

### Getting started

 1. Activate the plugin and complete the **Quickstart** wizard.
 2. Choose the post types where editorial checklists should appear.
 3. Confirm the starter template mappings, then open the editor.
 4. Follow the one-time sidebar tour in the **block editor**.
 5. Complete checklist items and watch the readiness/progress summary update.
 6. Adjust mappings later in **Settings  Editorial Workflow** or edit templates in **
    Checklist Templates**.

## Instalasi

 1. Upload the `editorial-workflow-manager` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install
    via **Plugins  Add New**.
 2. Activate the plugin in wp-admin.
 3. On activation, default checklist templates are created.
 4. On fresh installs, a Quickstart wizard opens to help you assign starter templates
    and launch the editor tour.

## Tanya Jawab

### What does the Quickstart wizard do?

On fresh installs, the plugin can guide an administrator through choosing post types,
assigning starter templates, and opening a post editor screen with the checklist
sidebar highlighted.

### Can I dismiss the quickstart or editor tour?

Yes. Dismissal is stored per user, so one admin can skip onboarding without affecting
another admin’s setup flow.

### Does the plugin block publishing when required items are missing?

No. The pre-publish warning is **non-blocking**.

### Does this work with Classic Editor?

No. The checklist UI is built for **Gutenberg / the block editor** only.

### Can I use different checklists per post type?

Yes. Assign templates in **Settings  Editorial Workflow**.

### Do optional items affect readiness?

No. Readiness is based on **REQUIRED** items only.

### What happens to older templates/checklist data?

Legacy templates and label-based checked state remain supported.

Templates are now stored in an upgraded **v2** format with UUID-based item IDs for
more stable matching. When a legacy template is edited and saved in the new editor,
it is upgraded to v2 automatically. A compatibility meta mirror is still maintained
for legacy support.

### Can I duplicate checklist templates?

Yes. Use the **Duplicate** row action on the Checklist Templates screen to create
an editable copy.
