Basic information
This article describes the different options for saving and publishing content in Pangea CMS.
Create new content
The workflow for creating new content in Pangea CMS emphasizes separation between the following roles:
- Creator: Creates the content. The creator has rights to edit content in Pangea CMS, but does not need rights to publish. The creator crafts the text, as well as adding images, links, embedded content, and more.
- Reviewer: Checks all content before publication. The reviewer needs rights to edit and publish content in Pangea CMS. The reviewer takes responsibility for the quality and accuracy of the published content.
For details, see the sections below:
Information for creators
You can save an item with the Draft status. This signals that the content is still in progress and is not yet ready for review or publication.
TIP: Saving the content regularly helps to minimize lost work if you accidently close the tab or the internet connection drops unexpectedly.
To save an item with the Draft status:
- Select Draft in the status drop-down menu.
- Hit Save or Save & close.
The content is now saved with the Draft status.
You can also save an item with the Edited status. This signals that the content is no longer in progress and is ready for review.
To save an item with the Edited status:
- Select Edited in the status drop-down menu.
- Hit Save or Save & close.
The content is saved with the Edited status. A reviewer can now check and publish the content.
Information for reviewers
The Edited status in Pangea CMS signals that content is ready for review. On the main Search page, you can find all content with the Edited status. Follow these steps:
- Select Edited under Status in the search filters.
- Hit Search.
The results refresh to include only content with the Edited status (content that is waiting for review).
Click the title to open a content item. The different publication options are described in the sections below:
Immediately publish content
NOTE: This option is only available if you have rights to publish content in Pangea CMS.
To immediately publish content:
- Select Published in the status drop-down menu.
- Hit Publish or Publish & close.
The content is now published. The publication date and time on the published page are set automatically to the moment of publication.
Schedule publication
NOTE: This option is only available if you have rights to publish content in Pangea CMS.
You can schedule publication for a specific date and time in the future. The content will be automatically published at the date and time you specify. Follow these steps:
- Select Published in the status drop-down menu.
- Select Pub. options.
- Select Schedule publication.
- Under Publication date & time, select the date and time when the content will be published. Enter the date and time manually or click the calendar icon to use the date and time picker.
- Select Apply.
- Select Schedule or Schedule & close.
Publication is now scheduled for the specified date and time. The content will be automatically published at this time.

Update published content
The Content approval workflow in Pangea CMS supports updates to published content. When you update published content:
- Changes can be saved internally without overwriting the published version.
- Changes need approval before publication. This ensures a second set of eyes to check the quality and accuracy of the updated content.
Content approval applies for updates to the following text content types:
- Article
- Backgrounder
- Blog
- Feature
- Feature story
- News
- Transcript

Add the "Updated" badge
If you update content that is already published, you can add the "Updated" badge. This means:
- The "Updated" badge is displayed on the published content page with information about when the page was updated.
- The "Updated" badge is displayed on any widgets where the content page is promoted.
The "Updated" badge signals that the page includes updated content. We suggest you only add the "Updated" badge if you make significant changes to the content.
To add the "Updated" badge, or to change the time stamp for the last update, hit the Pub. options button.

Stealth publish a video
The Stealth published status is available only for videos.
When you save a video with the Stealth published status:
- A standalone content page is not created for the video.
- The video does not have a public URL and is not automatically accessible on the web.
- The video is not indexed by search engines and does not appear on search engine results pages.
A stealth video is saved in Pangea CMS and can be embedded on content pages.
Stealth publication is useful if a video will be embedded, but the video is not suitable for sharing as a piece of standalone content. For example, your service might create a short video to play a supporting role in an article.
