CUSTOM STATUSES
tru
This feature allows you to create custom post statuses such as “In Progress” or “Pending Review”. You can define statuses to match the stages of your team’s publishing workflow.
By default, WordPress provides you with a very limited set of status choices: Draft and Pending Review. With PublishPress you’ll see a much wider range of options. When you first install PublishPress, you’ll see these extra statuses: Pitch, Assigned, and In Progress. You can then create more custom post statuses to define the stages of your publishing workflow.
EDITORIAL COMMENTS
A very important feature in PublishPress is commenting. You can leave comments under each post you write. This is a private conversation between writers and editors and allows you to discuss what needs to be changed before publication.
METADATA
Metadata enables you to keep track of important requirements for your content. This feature allows you to create fields and store information about content items.
By default, PublishPress provide 4 examples of metadata, but you can add your own to meet your team’s needs.
USER GROUPS
For larger organizations with many people involved in the publishing process, user groups help keep your workflow organized and informed.
To find the user settings, go to the PublishPress link in your WordPress admin area, and click the “User Groups” tab. By default, PublishPress provides four user groups: Copy Editors, Photographers, Reporters and Section Editors.
