This is part of the Phase 3: Collaboration<\/strong> roadmap. The main projects are Real-Time Collaboration<\/a>, Workflows<\/a>, Revisions<\/a>, Media Library<\/a>, Block Library<\/a>, and Admin Design<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Provide seamless collaboration during the entire editorial process, from draft to publication. Allow users to add comments, suggest edits, and tagtag<\/span> A directory in Subversion. WordPress uses tags to store a single snapshot of a version (3.6, 3.6.1, etc.), the common convention of tags in version control systems. (Not to be confused with post tags.)<\/span><\/span><\/span> other users for peer review. Ensure the interface remains focused on a smooth experience for writers and editors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improve the publishing flow by customizing the review process, establishing what needs to be done before a publication is ready. For example, an author could leave empty media blocks in a story they are writing and mark them to be completed by another team member, ensuring the post cannot be published while empty placeholders are still there. This could also include other types of requirements, like word count, fields to be completed, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make it straightforward to share different types of content, from posts to design changes, while controlling access through permissions. Connect with the adminadmin<\/span> (and super admin)<\/span><\/span><\/span> notifications project to capture comment reviews and mentions. Build upon improvements to the post revisionsRevisions<\/span> The WordPress revisions system stores a record of each saved draft or published update. The revision system allows you to see what changes were made in each revision by dragging a slider (or using the Next\/Previous buttons). The display indicates what has changed in each revision.<\/span><\/span><\/span> interface to provide clarity over edit history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tools and infrastructure developed need to support simpler use cases (one author sharing previews with friends for feedback) all the way to larger editorial teams, managing deadlines, handoffs, and more sophisticated review processes. Plugins should be able to take it further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While a lot of this work naturally aligns with unpublished content, it\u2019s also important to consider workflows around already published content and pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scope<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is a summary of the broad tasks we need to look into:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
